Nike SB Dunk Low Premium “Lobster”
 Boston edition kicks are nothing new but the norm calls for shamrocks and nicknames like “bean town” stitched on the side of the shoes. Rob Heppler and Concepts worked with Nike SB to create something that represented the Capital of the Commonwealth and New England.
To coincide with the upcoming Maine Lobster season that kicks off in May comes the “Lobster” Nike SB Dunk Lows. No details were overlooked with most of the exterior of the shoe resembling the armored shell of the succulent crustacean. The inside of the shoe was first mistaken for a picnic table cloth when samples shots leaked, but in fact it is to resemble the “Lobster bibs” commonly worn to keep the dripping butter off your new tie. The blue band that represents the rubber band to keep the lobsters from killing each other in the tank also doubles as an accessory so you can show your hypebeast friends that you own a pair of these even when you aren’t wearing them. These are available now in Japan at essence, but they will drop Stateside next month. |

It’s a great follow through on a concept. A lot of great details like the rubber band across the toes like over a lobster’s claws, material that looks like lobster shell, and the lobster bib look.
The problem isn’t the follow through, I think the concept is bad.
Not my style.

In a somewhat weird way I am really feeling these. I like how inside and out this shoe stuck to a theme and KILLED IT.

lol matt you killed it with that line about kids wearing the band. I guarantee you that so many kids will be sporting that band with their shoes.

just so y’all know, lobsters are not the prettiest looking animal. So, in this case, they really did hit it right w/ these shoes.
