The Concepts x Nike SB Dunk Low "Orange Lobster" Is One Serious Catch

Everyone has their own grails when it comes to sneakers, but it’s rare that a shoe really becomes the stuff of sneaker legend. However, way back in 2008, Concepts kicked off one of the most sought-after sneaker collections in history when they dropped the Lobster Dunks – a pair that took sneaker collaborations and storytelling to a whole new level. Having dropped a couple of rare Lobster colourways since it’s looking like we could be getting the missing Concepts x Nike SB Dunk Low “Orange Lobster” later this year, so here's what we’ve heard so far.

Following on from 2018’s Purple and Green Lobster releases that were derived by mixing the 2008 Lobster colours, the “Orange Lobster” Concepts SB Dunk has always been said to have been the missing pair, as it was the only other colour yield that hadn’t seen the light of day. Furthermore, we have to say that we’ve seen far more orange lobsters than blue, purple, or green in our time, so to us, the release is way overdue!

The latest iteration looks to follow the same makeup as the original iconic pairs, only this time it comes in a bold orange hue. The pair is made up of smooth leather and soft suede that comes saturated with the orange shade, whilst speckles are dotted across the panels to imitate the lobster’s shell. A suede Nike Swoosh also sweeps across the pair’s side panels, and this comes lined in white for a pop of contrast. White and orange hues then appear on the picnic blanket-style liner, and a white tongue and laces round off the upper.

Underfoot, a black midsole bleeds into an orange outsole, and the pair comes complete with an elastic band around each toe box to mimic a lobster claw. The SB Dunk “Orange Lobster” is set to arrive in a special-edition shoebox, making this pair a real collectors' piece.

Right now, the “Orange Lobster” Concepts x Nike SB Dunk Low is just a rumour, but we can’t wait to see if this legendary sneaker will come to light. If you’re serious about your sneakers, then be sure to hit the release reminder button right now, and keep it locked for more info as it comes in!

Up next, Nike team up with sacai for a stealthy grey Cortez.
