Nike SB Dunk Low Pro Concepts Green Lobster | Size 7.5

Nike and CNCPTS collaborations on ‘Lobster’ SB Dunks remain some of the most popular and iconic Nike Dunks the brand has ever created. They have been made in Red, Yellow, Blue, Green and Purple variations, all of which are coveted by sneaker collectors worldwide. The concept itself was inspired by the traditional New England lobster dinner experience.

Creator Rob Heppler recalled in an interview for Sneaker News:

“I was looking at the Nike SB webpage and only two shoes jumped out at me. Then I thought about Nick Diamond’s Tiffany Dunk and that Gucci one. They both had that weird luxury thing. So then I’m like, “F*ck. What does Boston have?” When someone’s visiting, they always want to have lobster. Lobster is the only thing on the menu that says “market price,” or considered to be very expensive.”

CNCPTS and Nike SB teamed up to design the green iteration of the iconic SB ‘Lobster’, after the blue, red and purple versions. The green stone upper is adorned with subtle speckling, contrasted by the pop of lime green from the sole and signature checkered inner lining. The pair comes with pink and black shoelaces as well as rubber bands for the toes to reference the bands put on lobster claws.

The Nike Dunk, designed in the 1980s and intended for basketball, was eventually repurposed for skateboarding. The popular model would be reworked in the early 2000s with upgrades for the skateboarding community, leading to the formal debut of the Nike SB brand. The man behind it, former Nike executive Sandy Bodecker, is credited with building one of Nike’s most beloved subdivisions with the Nike SB line.
