When I was working on And1's creative in 2005 Jeff Staple came in and worked on the creative with us, he was way ahead of his time in regards to his footwear knowledge. Him and Bobbito Garcia know sneakers!

Disappointed that him and Nike did not want to re-release the pigeon dunks. There are people that truly want to enjoy and wear those sneakers instead letting them sit just so that they could potentially resell as high as possible.

I'll just never understand sneaker culture. Its fascinating, but it makes no sense to me. I barely notice what shoes other people wear................and to pay more than $50 for shoes seems ridiculous especially when they cost a few bucks to make, the rest is just upcharge. It seems like a sucker deal/speculation.
