Lobster-Themed Padded Sneakers

Concepts and Nike SB Unveil a Dunk Low Pro Named Purple Lobster

— December 14, 2018 — Fashion
Concepts celebrate a decade of collaborative projects alongside Nike SB with a new 'Purple Lobster' iteration of the signature Dunk Low Pro sneakers. The latest model honors the previous 'Red Lobster' sneaker from 2008, as well as the 'Blue Lobster' sneaker in 2009. The Purple Lobster sneaker mixes the two previous colors together to emphasize the collaborative legacy that the two labels share.

The new footwear model retains the original tooling system along with the special Nike SB accent on the comfortably padded tongue. Additional details include a checkered picnic sock liner, a metallic branding Swoosh, metallic speckles throughout the uppers, and rubber bands around the toe as a nod to the lobster theme. Every pair comes with three different sets of laces and two lobster claw bands, packaged in a custom co-branded box.
