I won’t lie, I really love the translucent neon green sole on this limited edition SB Dunk.

This great image of the latest version of the Dunk Hi Nylon sneakers from Nike is courtesy of Standard. These sneakers, introduced last year in October, were big sellers and Nike has brought them back with a couple of new changes. [via]

I wanted a pair last year and I still want a pair now. Mmm!

Concepts x Nike SB Blue Lobster dunk packaging

I know I’ll never get a chance to own a pair of these Blue Lobster Dunks because of the limited run and the expensive price, so these pictures will have to do. Concepts really did a good job on this product packaging, putting the shoe in a HAZMAT-like foam container to emphasize the danger of the “blue lobster” name. I think that blue and that neon green go real well. I WANT TO GOBBLE IT UP! YUM.

Last summer, Concepts collaborated with Nike SB on a red Lobster Dunk that came in some very fantastic packaging. The Lobster Dunk was a huge success and now Concepts is back with its sequel, a blue version of the same shoe they called the Blue Lobster Dunk. The shoe is to be released on June 20, 2009 and like its predecessor, it will come in its own special packaging. The Blue Lobster dunk will be sold for $250 in a HAZMAT foam container with a Nike SB T-shirt and a special hang tag and lace lock.

I wasn’t a big fan of the original Lobster Dunk, but this blue one is absolutely gorgeous! Those neon yellow/green laces are quite something. Yum!

Wow, this is a real bold pair of kicks!

I’ve sorta stopped buying really colorful sneakers like this, but if I had to make one more to call it an end, I’d consider this pair. Unfortunately, they’re only sold in Korea for about $105 USD.

Custom Nike SB Dunk made with grip tape

Look at this wonderful custom Nike SB Dunk by Brad Douglas. Brad took a pair of white distressed Nike SB Dunk Lows and sewed grip tape over the leather to make one of the toughest Nike SB Dunks you can buy. And since the grip tape is backed by the leather, it is less susceptible to cracking and creasing which is always good if you want to show these babies off for a long time.

The combination of the two seems like such common sense (in terms of fashionable design, anyway) because grip tape is such an essential part of skateboarding (and these are skateboarding sneakers). Nike should take some cues from this and make a real grip tape dunk, possibly in a different colorway. But I imagine that the machines Nike uses to put sneakers together would get some terrible wear after only a few pairs because grip tape is so abrasive and resistant to anything it touches. Still, I think this is absolutely a great idea!
