The Concepts x Nike Dunk Low SB ‘Orange Lobster’ continues a collaborative series that originally kicked off in 2008. In crafting the shoe’s design, the Boston-based shop looks to the rare orange lobster for inspiration. Varying shades of orange are applied to the nubuck upper, featuring lightly speckled overlays and a tonal Swoosh outlined in white. A woven Nike SB tag embellishes the white mesh tongue, while a bib-themed pattern decorates the interior lining. The sneaker sits atop a traditional cupsole, featuring black sidewalls and a grippy orange rubber outsole.

Description
The Concepts x Dunk Low SB ‘Orange Lobster’ is a highly anticipated release and a part of Nike SB’s collaboration with Concepts, a renowned streetwear and sneaker boutique. This special edition is a follow-up to the wildly popular Lobster collection, which features several colorways inspired by the lobster and seafood theme. The ‘Orange Lobster’ edition stands out with its vibrant and eye-catching color scheme, premium materials, and clever design details that play on the theme of luxury and exclusivity.
Design & Colorway:
- Upper: The ‘Orange Lobster’ features a rich orange suede base, which represents the lobster’s striking color. The upper is made of premium suede that gives it a soft, textured feel, adding depth to the vibrant orange hue. The suede provides a sophisticated look while also contributing to the shoe’s comfort and durability.
- Contrasting Accents: The Nike Swoosh is crafted in a deep red leather, providing a strong contrast against the orange base. This bold color combination makes the Swoosh pop and adds a layer of complexity to the design. The toe box and heel may feature a slightly darker shade of orange or red, which creates visual depth and a layered effect, further enhancing the shoe’s unique aesthetic.
- Rubber Details: The heel tab and outsole are made in a gum rubber material, which complements the color scheme with a neutral yet premium touch, offering a great balance between vibrant tones and subtle, earthy contrasts.
Materials:
- Premium Suede & Leather: The Dunk Low SB ‘Orange Lobster’ uses premium suede on the upper, offering a soft and luxurious feel, while the red leather Swoosh adds structure and visual interest to the design. This combination of materials ensures durability while maintaining a high-quality look and feel.
- Padded Tongue & Collar: As a part of Nike SB’s (Skateboarding) line, the Dunk Low features a padded tongue and collar for enhanced comfort and support. These features ensure that the shoe provides a snug, secure fit, which is crucial for skaters who need performance alongside style.
Sole & Comfort:
- Zoom Air Cushioning: The Zoom Air technology in the midsole offers responsive, low-profile cushioning, providing both comfort and impact protection for skaters. The Zoom Air unit ensures that the shoe performs well on the board, allowing for smooth landings and enhanced board feel.
- Rubber Outsole: The gum rubber outsole comes with the classic herringbone tread pattern, which is designed for superior grip and traction. The durable outsole ensures that the sneaker is suitable for skateboarding, offering stability and control during tricks and maneuvers.
Design Highlights:
- Lobster-Inspired Theme: The ‘Orange Lobster’ is part of the Lobster Collection, a series of collaborative Nike SB Dunk models inspired by lobsters. The shoe features the lobster-inspired design, with the orange suede representing the lobster’s bright shell. The premium materials, colorblocking, and subtle details are all nods to the exclusivity and rarity of lobster, creating a luxurious feel.
- Special Packaging: Like other lobsters in the collection, the ‘Orange Lobster’ may come with special packaging that enhances the theme, such as lobster trap-inspired boxes or other unique packaging details that tie into the overall concept of the release. These extras make the shoe even more desirable for collectors and fans of the Concepts collaboration.
- Exclusive Detailing: The ‘Orange Lobster’ also features small, exclusive touches like lace accessories that resemble lobster claws or custom lace tips, which are creative elements that further connect the shoe to its theme. The conceptual details are a hallmark of the Concepts collaborations, making each pair not just a sneaker but a collectible item.
