Concepts x Nike SB “Blue Lobster” Dunks
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Jun 11, 2009
Today, Cambridge-based Concepts announced that it will be releasing the Blue Lobster Dunk, the sneaker boutique’s second project with Nike SB. The Blue Lobster Dunk will drop at Concepts on Saturday, June 20, 2009, at 11:00 am.
The Blue Lobster Dunk serves as the sequel to last summer’s original Lobster Dunk, a Nike SB that first made waves on May 31, 2008. The first “Lobster” was shipped and promoted by the “Concepts Fishing Company,” and came equipped with a poster, lobster claw rubber band, tee shirt and condiment box (replete with lobster shell cracker, fork, bib, wet nap and “butter” shoelaces) all embossed with the “Concepts Fishing Company” logo. The first 50 pairs sold were available in ultra-limited edition packaging, with all of the above-mentioned bundled up in an authentic Concepts wooden lobster trap.
This time around, it’s dangerous! The “Blue Lobster” is a dangerous sub-breed of violent crustaceans that have been wrecking havoc on the otherwise tranquil waters of New England. Priced at $250, the actual Blue Lobster sneaker will be bagged, tagged and sealed in a HAZMAT foam container. Each pair will be joined by an official Nike SB tee shirt, hang tag and lace lock. The first 200 pairs will come with 1 of 2 Concepts x Alien Workshop skate decks.
On June 20, while in line to pick up the Blue Lobster, Concepts will also be raffling off a pair of the original Lobster from 2008. Raffle tickets will be sold for $10 each and the drawing will be held immediately following the release.
After the launch of the Blue Lobster, Concepts will host the Official Blue Lobster Party, featuring a number of special guests and performers including DJ Statik Selektah, Termanology and Masspike Miles. The “Brew Live Cruise” will take place on board the MV Freedom, docked at Rowes Wharf in Boston, MA. Boarding begins at 8:00 pm and the vessel leaves at 9:00 pm sharp! Admission is $30 and only offered to those that are 21+.

If anybody wants these shoes for $900 (negotiable) let me know cnote2015@aol.com… I just got them from Concepts today. Pictures are available. We can arrange the deal, but I will ship them the next day.
Shoes come in an unopened box, with the full set of extras - the t-shirt (L), the skate deck (blue one), the lace lock, the bag purchased in, and I’ll even give you the official blue lobster mixtape CD that they were handing out to each customer
Let me know

Dapo, Indonesia’s GNP is not $980 and Muslim is not a religion, but Islam is, just figured I’d let you know, you may want to revise your fact sheet… I think most of the people in this forum probably know, to some extent, what goes into making a pair of Nike shoes.
Jun 11, 2009 at 6:17 pm
very nice
Jun 11, 2009 at 6:17 pm
these are nice!! but not feeeling the neon yellow laces too much
Jun 11, 2009 at 6:03 pm
I like.
Jun 11, 2009 at 5:48 pm
If only nike would donate a little portion of their money to the people who make them, things would be better for them. The powers is in our hands as consumers, we can make a difference together with nike.

Jun 11, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Whoa…Talk about a total rip…I just read these exact same pharagraphs on the Concepts website…You guys took it word for word…Not to mention you don’t even provide a source link back to Concepts…Real original fellas, I always thought you were better then that and truly were unique with your posts…I guess even the best of them get lazy at times and jack other stuff…
Shout out to Concepts for the info which has been plagiarized by NiceKicks.
Jun 11, 2009 at 12:39 pm
any chances i can get these in so.cal? where??
Jun 11, 2009 at 12:37 pm
beautiful colorway but i learned not to buy low top dunks from previous experiences…
Jun 11, 2009 at 12:31 pm
i just dont like low dunks…the color scheme is amazing though
Jun 11, 2009 at 12:12 pm
Nike SB is so creative..
i think these are way more wearable than the 1st lobsters…
hopefully i can get my hands on these
Jun 11, 2009 at 11:29 am
pretty nice. again, more shoes I won’t be getting
oh and Kris…. you were not first and you are very lame for saying that.

If I lived in Boston I would be all over these limited edition ones. Since I don’t feel like making the 3 hour drive, i’ll wait for the GRs and make the 10 minute drive to my local spot.
