DUNK LOW SB "BLUE LOBSTER"

Here we have the second lobster-themed dunk release done in collaboration with Concepts.  This edition  had a small amount of pairs launch with a bunch of extras followed by a more general though still limited release.  The sea creature-themed advertising campaign was very lengthy and well known, complete with pictures of a fake-out distraction of a dunk that was never to release (the Beijing Lows) circulating online.  These feature a bib pattern graphic on the insole and inner area and speckling on the lighter shades of the upper. The swoosh is also a double swoosh with a not-often seen white outline.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2009
STYLE CODE: 313170 342
MATERIALS: The materials are nearly identical in placement to the red version; the swoosh is leather, the rest is a super short-haired suede/leather kind of material.FEATURES:  These come with both white and black sb laces and the lobster claw bands.
STREET VALUE: $225-275.  I got my pair from premierskateboarding.com
