So I drove by the Concepts Blue Lobster release on Saturday because even though my job doesn’t afford me the opportunity to slumber on the streets of Boston for a week in anticipation of a new shoe release, I would still like to be a part of the mass hysteria. And hysteria it was.

Ok, fine, that is not a picture of the exact days events but it was pretty close. Those sneakerheads are insane. Especially with the disgusting monsoon all last week in Boston. That can’t be ideal lawn chair weather. But they managed to survive and got the goods.

And they get antsy with new information being dropped! A little birdie told me that Concepts plans on dropping yet another colorway for their Lobster in the near distant future. Then he took a crap on my shoulder. Damn pigeons. The new colorway is yellow and I support the Nike SB movement, but I have a couple questions. How many colors do actual lobsters come in exactly? I mean, I know we’re having a problem with that whole global warming thing, but is there a kaleidoscope of aquatic life just floating around out there? Because that’s a problem for me. Unless there’s a purple one, because that would be a bad ass pet. And shoe…hint hint wink wink.

Check out the video for the first slightly stalkerish look at the newest addition to Concepts marine family.

After weeks of rumors surrounding the influx of murdering blue lobsters and their killing spree of Boston natives, Concepts has finally quelled the unrest and announced the upcoming release of the new Nike SB Blue Lobster Dunk, the store’s second project with Nike SB. And it makes my heart swim. See what I did there? With the swimming heart and the aquatic nature of the post…I’m so clever.

Anyway, This is Concept’s sequel to the original Lobster Dunk, which debuted last May, and just like last year I’m sure the line will be wrapped around the block like headphones around your iPod. It’s set to drop Saturday, June 20, 2009, at 11:00 am so if you plan on getting into this party I suggest you grab a lawn chair and a comfy sleeper and head over. Now. No, like right now. Kenny is posted right now with a keg, six pounds of trail mix and a Power Rangers comforter. Don’t hate on Kenny. He is more than punctual and has amazing taste in 90’s after school TV shows. Unless it’s anything but the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Then he’s just some crazy homeless dude outside a shoe store. In which case you should find a real blue lobster and sneak it under his comforter while he slumbers. Because that would be a hilarious way to pass the time.

These crustaceans are priced at $250 USD and will be bagged, tagged and sealed in a HAZMAT foam container along with an official Nike SB tee shirt, hang tag and lace lock. And if you jump Kenny and become one of the first 200 you’ll get 1 of 2 Concepts x Alien Workshop skate decks. Guys shoes or not, these make me want to run through a meadow with a gingham bib and a lobster sandwich. And if you try to cut me in line, my claws will come out. Get it? Claws. There I go again with the wit! Let the menacing video below set the mood for you.
