The Nike SB "Red Lobster" were created in collaboration with the Massachusetts based shop, Concepts. This elborate design was inspired by the seafood heritage of New England. They feature a sport red/pink clay colorway, and draw their inspirations with the color and characteristics of lobsters. Lobster cuisine is famous in New England so it all makes sense. The sockliner and insoles represent the lobster’s bib. They also feature speckles which reflect the spots on the lobster. They also come with a blue rubber band which goes around the toebox, as in the rubber bands seen on lobster claws. Sadly, you cannot wear these rubber bands with the sneaker which, to me, is a big disappointment.
The "Red Lobster" would have to be one of my favorite SBs. These are a must keep. I have gone through three pairs of these and regretted it each time. They released on June 6, 2008 and retailed for . They now market for about $200.
