[aceofjays]

The color scheme isn't too bad.

 

[rapido27]

There are already 50 people waiting in line for these at Concepts.

 

[airmaxlows]

[mayhemgatz]

another release to show that word of mouth is more powerful than designs and innovation.

 

[airmaxlows]

let me start this by saying.. 1- i am not a fan of dunks 2- i am not a fan of sbs 3- this has nothing to do with me working at concepts 4- i probably will noteven get myself a pair BUT...

the design and concept of this sneaker is off the hook. the promo was straight ridiculous.. we had dudes taking a break from working on new star wars/indianajones promo stuff to DO WORK on this release...

and

another release to show that word of mouth is more powerful than designs and innovation.

you are definitely entitled to your own opinion, but how is this not ridiculous to you? i dont even like gimmicks and concept stuff normally butthis is just over the top... with the wooden lobster cage/box to the extra laces coming in a butter container with labelled packaging, etc... i think dudes dida really good job.

 

[pinnaster pinneped]

ugly shoes...

 

[davis]

^i agree. but everyone is entitled to n opinion. i live in boston too....too bad i dont like these or i would be all over these...but....new castles....

 

[randz4937]

i aint gonna front, i like these a lot. i like the whole concept from the gimmick to the shoe to the extra's that come packaged with it, it just sucks thatthis isnt releasing on the west coast (fisherman's wharf) where us Left coast folks can get a chance at these. First House of Hoops gets limited kicks, nowConcepts?

this is a very hot promo, i love the way it comes in that special edition box and all the extras but IMO it's all still a gimmick to sell a sneakerthat would have sold poorly had it been a straight GR. i could just be hating on the ugly shoes, i don't know but i am glad it is limited. i'm notgonna front....i would buy just the box

Thats a legit japanese sneaker website and they got them as well. Its 150 dollars what they are charging...I guess they really are going to come out soon

 

[inine5]

for those that cop, i hope you will remove that blue rubber band before you wear these right?...please don;t be trying to match to the rubber band

 

[airmaxlows]

i didnt even bother checking that link because i know for a fact that the only pairs of these that have left the warehouse have been shipped to concepts asidefrom the samples floating around. either those are fake, or it is some sort of pre-order.

 

[airmaxlows]

so, i just checked that link. those are not legit.. compared to the real sample pair we have, the red on the middle and toe portion is way off

Sneaker geeks camp out for Nikes
Jay Fitzgerald By Jay Fitzgerald
Friday, May 30, 2008 - Updated 6h ago

Jay Fitzgerald has been a journalist and blogger for years. He's now the general economics reporter for the Boston Herald.


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'sbig 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 theConcepts 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 storeand 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 thelatest 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 tohis 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, forksand other items in keeping with the crustacean concept.

Unless that guy is faster than a speeding bullet (or the time it takes to snap off 3 quick photos on a digital camera), those are 2 different people.
