The Nike Dunk SB Low Custom Pigeon is a member of the 'Low' Nike Dunks family, with other related members in the family being the likes of the Nike Dunk SB Premium Low (New Castle Edition), the Nike Dunk SB Low 720 Degrees and the Nike Dunk SB EMB 181 Brazil, to name but a few of other members of this rather extensive family. Of all Low Nike products that I have gotten to use before, though, it is the Nike Dunk SB Low Custom Pigeon that I have gotten most enchanted with, and for good reason.
The Nike SB Low Custom Pigeon is not just a 'low' dunk by name, as it is indeed one of the lowest Nike Dunks products that I have ever gotten to see, making it an ideal wear for anyone who truly fancies wearing Dunks, but likes them low. Unlike most other 'Low' Nike dunk products, which go ahead to start off quite some distance from the ground (thanks to rather tall soles), the Nike Dunks SB Low Custom Pigeon's sole is a relatively 'normal-sized' affair, which adds to keep the shoe truly low in the real sense of the word. Talking of soles, it is notable that the sole on the Nike Dunk SB Low Custom Pigeon comes painted orange in color at the lowest region of it (just like a certain breed of pigeon's feet), with a grayish hue taking over on the upper region of the sole which connects the sole to the upper body.
Although the upper body of Nike SB Low Custom Pigeon is basically grey in color, at least 2 other colors can be identified at various parts of it (this in keeping with Nike's well known liberality with color), the other colors in question here being white (which dons the shoe laces) and the Nike 'tick' as well as orange (a carryover from the lower part of the sole, one would say), which makes a very brief appearance on the patch on the back end of the shoe between the region adjoining the shoe's tongue and the very back tip of the shoe.
For a shoe-tying mechanism, Nike opts to go the traditional shoelace way in the Nike Dunk SB Low Custom Pigeon; and the shoe lace here is quite short, as would be expected of a true 'low' dunk. Here we are looking at about 6 pairs of shoelace holes (about 12 holes in total), with yet still an option of leaving even some of these unthreaded.
The sole on the Nike Custom Pigeon seems to be of the hardy, yet quite flexible variety, which normally holds the promise of durability to those who get to use it.
For ventilation purposes, Nike Dunk Low Custom Pigeon comes with a set of well appointed 'breathing holes' on the front section of the shoe - appointed in such a way that while the pragmatist with identify them as 'breaking holes' the aesthetically-inclined will also be apt to see them as some sorts of 'designs' on the shoe.
