Cambridge’s Concepts released their first collaboration with Nike SB this morning to a long line and large crowd waiting for the Nike Dunk SB Concepts “Lobster”. Only 200 pairs were on hand for the release, but the first 50 people received a commemorative wooden crate for their kicks made to resemble a lobster trap.

The Nike Dunk SB Concepts “Lobster” theme was carried beyond imagination with a lobster like exterior made to resemble its armor like exoskeleton, to the lobster bib sock liner, and how could one miss the rubber band across the toes. Limited T-shirts and accessories were also cooked up to compliment the release.

Not surprisingly a few pairs of the Concepts Lobster Dunks have made their way to eBay where they are catching (no pun) some pretty high prices due to the demand. Great concept and great execution. All brands or shops doing collabs need to take notice.

Newcastle is thought to be the first place in Britain to brew beer. Legends aside, it is known that Newcastle’s first commercial brewery, John Barras & Company of Gateshead, was established here in 1770. Then, in 1890, after the Gateshead Brewery was bought by the North Eastern Railway Company, John Barras & Company purchased the Tyne Brewery and linked up with several small breweries in North Shields, Gateshead and Sunderland to form The Newcastle Breweries Ltd.

Nike Dunk Hi Premium “St. Pauli”.

It is something for all the soccer fans among you. Nike got together with German soccer club FC St. Pauli from Hamburg. The club has somewhat of a special standing in German soccer, not necessarily because of its performance, but because of its rebel character. That is also clearly translated into the Dunk Pack that they have worked with Nike on.

This Nike Dunk Hi Premium comes in a Black/Black-Medium Grey Colorway. Classic shape made of black smooth leather suede and mesh. Features nice woven laces, mixing the colors that are also represented on the sneakers. Nice and fresh with the ostrich detailing. Under the innersole you will find the Zoom Air unit for extra comfort. Each pair comes exclusive with a St. Pauli Patch!
