Damn man. These look nice.

I like all of the little details that you guys threw in there.

And nice touch by bringing in Legal Seafoods for the lobster appetizers!

I wish I could be there just to experience it, but I won't be back in the Bean until June 7th.

Sneaker geeks camp out for Nikes

By Jay Fitzgerald | Friday, May 30, 2008 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Business & Markets

Like, cool Nike SB Concepts Lobster Dunk sneakers, dude.

A small army of sneakerheads has camped outside Harvard Square's Concepts footwear and fashion store to purchase a pair of specially made Nike "skateboard" sneakers that, to some, have become collectible items.

"It's a piece of history," said Chris Langer, a 16-year-old who on Wednesday drove up to Cambridge with his pals from New York for tomorrow's big sneaker sale.

Langer and friends were the first of dozens to camp outside Concepts - with the vigil starting Wednesday night - for the 11 a.m. unveiling tomorrow of the Concepts Lobster Dunk.

What's a Concepts Lobster Dunk?

Why, it's a sneaker "inspired by the seafood heritage of New England" and designed and produced via collaboration between the hip Concepts store and Nike.

Nike often produces different styles of its Dunks - and the sneakers are much sought-after items for some consumers. The Concepts Lobster Dunk is just the latest in the line - at $150 a pair.

"It gives you an excitement and a thrill to own a new pair," said Langer, who skipped school, despite the misgivings of his mom, in order to add to his 100-pair collection of Nike SD Dunks.

Langer said he actually wears and uses the sneakers.

But others are known to just collect them, similar to how others might collect Hummels, Precious Moments dolls, baseball cards, stamps, coins, bottle caps, whatever.

There will be only 200 Concepts Lobster Dunks on sale tomorrow, exclusively at Concepts. The event will be catered by Boston's Legal Sea Foods.

The first 50 pairs will come in wood crates, designed by Boston's Creative Pilot Inc. Inside each crate, besides the sneakers, will be lobster bibs, forks and other items in keeping with the crustacean concept.
