Nike SB "Concepts Lobster" Dunk

[bgetsbusy]

From Hypebeast:

Concepts will be releasing their collaborative Nike SB "Lobster" Dunk on Saturday, May 31st. The shoe, inspired by the seafood heritage of New England, will be available in a limited edition set, available exclusively at Concepts. The first 200 pairs, which include the limited packaging, come equipped with a lobster claw rubber band, a tee shirt, a condiment box (which includes lobster shell cracker, fork, bib, an extra set of laces, and wet nap) and a poster, all put into a traditional paper bag used by typical, New England lobster retailers. Not only will the packaging and bag be branded with the "Concepts Fishing Company" graphic, but the release at Concepts will also be catered by Legal Seafoods, who will be providing lobster appetizers. The release will be followed by a raffle for some additional exclusive goodies. The special pack will be extremely limited to 200 pairs, and will retail for $150 USD and the first 50 pairs will come with a special, limited edition wooden box.

Thoughts........

Is this the only version of the Lobster SB? Isn't there a less exclusive edition?

 

[emmanuelabor]

yet ANOTHER ill box. I wish Nike would put half the effort into the shoes that they put into these boxes

 

[mayhemgatz]

oh man i knew they would throw some gimmick to peddle these shoes.....they were ugly when they weren't limited and even uglier still!

 

[daffy 016]

it looks like i need to road trip to boston...

 

[cucumbercool]

[butteryslickness266]

[denverairforce]

reeeeachin'.

 

[trieze k]

1. This seems like a bit much to sell shoes

2. The shoes are garbage

 

[overtime626]

might make that trip down for these

 

[skip0011]

I like em a lot, just not for $150. Why do they have to be so limited?

 

[ankles2008]

im still copping these.

i thought they came with the rubber bands anyways?

 

[inine5]

according to the description, it sounds like 200 pairs have all that other stuff included and 50 of the 200 have the wooden box..... it didn;t say there areonly 200 pairs so everywhere else might get some pairs..... but i'm not feeling the shoes, but i think i'll head over just to get some legal seafoods.....

 

[gasdreamer]

That is some of the illest packaging I've ever seen!!!!

 

[frankwh1te]

for real that box is something serious, the shoes on the other hand not so much. dude around my way said june for the rest of the release for those of you thatwants these but aren't in bean town. my question for the heads at SB is why can't we get a shoe as dope as that box??

 

[ultrasur1]

they seem cool enough.

don't understand the need for the gimmick.

 

[pumplance]

Liked the shoes since pics surfaced but thought the concept was kinda dumb... untill now that we find out Concepts is behind it. Now it all makes sence andwith that sick-@@% packaging I wish I could get out to beantown to get them. I actually bought my Concepts NB 576's from there last time I was in Boston. I know they do phone orders but I doubt it with these. Awsome shop, awsome concept. Hate on people!!!!

The elastic band is dope.

 

[ucjb2]

These will release in june across the country, this is just a special concepts only release. Dont worry to everyone who wants to pick them up in the regular sbbox for $90 without all the extras.

 

[airportchy]

Nice I am glad that they are still going to release regularly. These are hot in my opinion. It'd be cool to have this version, but either way they arefire.

 

[jacobmontana]

I actually like thse, box or not.
But that box is very sick.
