Last week when images of the Concepts x Nike SB Blue Lobster Dunk were finally revealed, the attached press release also mentioned special packaging similar to the first original Dunk SB Lobster. Today, thanks to our fam at Freshness we finally have images of the packaging for the Nike SB Blue Lobster Dunk which is bagged, tagged and sealed in a HAZMAT foam container. Again, this special package will only be available in an limited edition of 200 at Concepts this coming Saturday, June 20th, 2009. The price will be $250 and will include a collab Alien Workshop skate deck and a collab t-shirt, a regular release is expected at a later date so stay tuned to Sneaker News for all the info.
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 $250.00 usd, 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+.

Dam that is clean. The shoe go hard and a Fucking HAZMAT container telling you to back off the shoe. Priceless lol. Now why couldn’t the dam Air Yeezy have a good box like that instead of some cheap ass shit falling apart.
June 16th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
those blue lobsters are fire! and the box or container whateva you call it is pretty dope!
June 16th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
the packing is sick, the shoes are awesome as well. I’ll wait for the regular packaged more broad released pair to cop, like I did for the original Lobsters.
June 16th, 2009 at 11:35 pm

June 17th, 2009 at 12:29 am
fucking hypebeasts, this shoe sucks.
June 17th, 2009 at 12:31 am
WOW. Well done Concepts. This is incredible.
June 17th, 2009 at 1:49 am
might cop. laces initially bugged me but not as much anymore. i’m just not sure they have the same appeal once they are out of the packaging though… :/
June 17th, 2009 at 1:57 am
why is the outsole so light???? it turns me off…
what do you think?
June 17th, 2009 at 8:09 am
outsole doesn’t bother me. the shoes are dope and the laces add extra pop to it. when nike sb puts on fly kicks u gotta cop em cuz the rest of the stuff is usually garbage
June 17th, 2009 at 9:54 am
no neon on the toe box it’s just the light hitting the leather.
the laces are like the hazardous material: think teenage mutant ninja turtles, ooze, ya know?!
June 17th, 2009 at 10:51 am
it probably took nike 10 bucks to make all these and we got to spend 250…and in the long run, over 500
June 17th, 2009 at 11:08 am
