Cambridge’s Concepts released their first collaboration with Nike SB this morning to a long line and large crowd waiting for the Concepts “Lobster” Dunk SB. 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 “Lobster Dunk” 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.

Tomorrow will see the release of the latest Air Jordan XX3 in White/Varsity Red-Metallic Silver. For those counting, this is the fifth Jordan XX3 to release since the Titaniums premiered in late January.Though this is technically a general release, don’t expect it to be as easy to come by after the release date. Many heads missed out on the Countdown Package last weekend and who doesn’t like classic Jordan colors. Also, judging by prices on eBay being quite a bit over retail one can tell that that is a healthy amount of demand as well.

You can press your luck tomorrow at stores nationwide or see what you can come up with online.

This past season Jordan Brand was a major sponsor of Puerto Rico’s pro basketball league and this summer Jordan Brand will be outfitting the Men’s basketball Puerto Rico National Team for the Beijing Games. Jordan Brands assembled a special release to commemorate the first National team outfitted by JB.A limited Puerto Rico Air Jordan 1 Low PHAT was released today to only three stores in the US: Shoe Gallery in Miami, House of Hoops in NYC, and Goliath in Spanish Harlem. It is said that only 24 pairs were released per door making the total number floating around at just 72 pairs. This was also the first release of the Air Jordan 1 Low PHAT. The “PHAT” Jordan 1 has more padding around the collar and tongue of the shoe much like an SB Dunk. In addition to the sneakers, Jordan Brand produced hats, T-shirts, and practice jersey to hook with the kicks.

Here we feature the Adidas ZX 500 Sport, which was originally released in 1986. They are very similar to the ZX 700 but with small detailed differences such as more plastic eyelets and a less involved toe box and heel area set it apart. They feature a subtle black and grey upper along with purple accents, constructed from both suede and mesh.
