So I would do one edit where I'd screen out the stuff that I wouldn't want in the book. I gave that to the editor [Emily Suzuki] and the art director [Brent Rollins], and then we would massage and tweak and collaborate from there. But I really think having an outside voice was one-hundred percent necessary. And actually, my partner-slash-wife had a lot to do with this, too, because a lot of these archives were in my personal storage facility, my personal attic, and my mom's crib. So it's not like I could just send an editor into my mom's house.

If it just ended up on Hypebeast, it just becomes a Hypebeast thing. But because it was on The Post, it became a 90-year-old grandma living on the Upper West Side. I mean, I love the design and it had great storytelling, but the timing was a huge factor. The biggest stroke of luck was that the reporter who broke that story for the New York Post lived on Orchard Street.

And so that’s one reason scientists are trying to keep such a close, attentive eye on what’s happening. So elephant seals, in particular in South America, were just devastated by this virus last fall. The good news is they don’t seem to get nearly as sick as chickens do. They are generally making full recoveries on their own in a couple of weeks. My whole wardrobe basically consists of Aether and Rag & Bone… well-made blanks. I’m developing 18 months ahead, so by the time it’s available for me to wear I’m tired of it.

Staple spoke with GQ about his path from college dropout to in-demand designer, the choice to include a full-page scan of his credit report in his book, and how he managed to go "all city" on corporate America. There’s been a lot of discussion about whether we should start vaccinating chickens in the US. The government, USDA labs, have been testing some poultry vaccines. There are challenges there, both in terms of logistics — just how would you go about vaccinating billions of chickens every year. Traditionally, a lot of countries have not been willing to accept poultry products from countries that vaccinate their poultry. The virus seemed to have a mortality rate of 95 percent in these elephant seal pups, and they estimated that it might have killed more than 17,000 of the pups that were born last year.

If Rachel Sklar did not live on Orchard Street, the whole mythology of the Pigeon Dunk may be different now, because that newspaper cover is so tied to the actual shoe. Get on the list for exclusive items, sales, and new arrivals. First, it could allow the outbreak to get much bigger, much faster, which might increase the risk to the food supply.

The fact that I can do it is a huge sigh of relief that I'm not in credit card debt. And there’s concern about whether the virus might spread undetected in flocks that are vaccinated. So as we saw with COVID, the vaccine can sometimes stop you from getting sick, but it doesn’t necessarily stop infection. And so countries are worried they might unknowingly import products that are harboring the virus. And most devastatingly, we’ve seen enormous outbreaks in other sorts of marine mammals, especially sea lions and seals.

History

He walked out of that store with an order of 12 shirts. Yes, and in particular, the more mammalian hosts. So that gives the virus many more opportunities to become a specialist in mammals instead of a specialist in birds, which is what it is right now. Don’t have many immune defenses against this virus, and of course, are facing all these other environmental threats. And so there’s a lot of fear that you add on the stress of a bird flu virus, and it could just be a tipping point for penguins. And in fact, it has already caused the worst bird flu outbreak in US history.

Nike's SB Dunk “Panda Pigeon” to Be Packaged in Special Wooden Box

On the eve of the Canadian capsule collection’s June 20th drop, we spoke to Staple about the rise of streetwear, the art of the collab and where it all goes from here. What started as a small T-Shirt line handmade by jeffstaple, grew organically and began to gain visibility in NYC. In the process of building this burgeoning brand, Nike asked jeffstaple in 2005 to create a special commemorative sneaker that would represent New York. The STAPLE x Nike Dunk Pro Low SB "NYC Pigeon" was conceived and lead to much fanfare upon its release and exposed Staple—as well as sneaker culture—to the masses. In 1997, jeffstaple walked into a boutique in New York City wearing a shirt he printed in his silkscreen class at Parsons School of Design. He had no intention of even wanting to start a brand.

Somewhere along the way, the humble rock pigeon became an uncanny symbol of streetwear’s unstoppable move into mainstream consumer culture. So the way it’s spreading in wild animals, even in remote places like Antarctica, that’s important to watch, at least in part because there’s a real danger to people here. Right now, the likelihood that a farmer who gets this virus passes it on is pretty low.

I immediately knew I needed an editor and an art director for the book. If the editing and the creative direction of the book were in my hands, it would literally never get done. I needed a foil to battle me on my ideas and my decisions so that we could get the book done.

Scientists are already seeing evidence that the virus is adapting as it passes from marine mammal to marine mammal. And that could turn it into a virus that’s also better at spreading between people. Well, a lot of experts and scientists are talking about this with rising alarm and in terms that are quite stark. They’re talking about the virus spreading through wild animal populations so quickly and so ferociously that they’re calling it an ecological disaster. Yes, and I should be clear that represents two things. So some of those birds are birds who naturally got infected and died from the virus.

On one end of the scale you have being on trend, and a lot of brands that come out are really good at capitalizing on that. On the other side of that spectrum you have consistency and longevity. If you slide all the way over to the consistency side you’re going to come out looking pretty bland after a few years. But if you’re Anti Social Social Club or Hood by Air, you make a ton in a very short time, but are your children really going to be wearing an Anti Social outfit? I’ll bet they won’t be, because they’re not focused on consistency or longevity. I’m not trying to make the hottest trap record, I’m trying to make 20 albums.
