History
Jeff Staple, portrayed at the BreadandButter show in 2009

Jeff worked as an intern with the pioneer streetwear clothing company PNB Nation and worked as a graphic designer at c.i.t.e. design. He established his brand, Staple, in 1997 while silk-screening T-shirts in his spare time. Later that year, Jeff started Staple Design. Staple Design opened the retail store and art gallery Reed Space in downtown Manhattan in 2002.[2]

In 2005, Staple Pigeon released the NYC Pigeon Dunks sneakers in collaboration with Nike.[3] Only around 200 pairs were ever released, exclusively in New York City. Riots erupted at many of the stores where the shoes were sold. The market value of a pair of the shoes today is reportedly over US $28,000.[4] Staple Pigeon has since manufactured and sold original works and products online.[5][6]

Products

Staple Design produces a globally-distributed lifestyle menswear collection. The collection is split into two main lines: Staple, which is mostly graphic and print-focused with t-Shirts and tanktops, and STPL, a cut-and-sew collection.[7]
