The Yellow Lobster: Your one-of-a-kind chance at a legendary sneaker investment

Imagine holding a sneaker that only 36 pairs exist worldwide. That’s the Nike SB Dunk Low "Yellow Lobster" – a collectible that blurs the lines between fashion, art, and investment.

The birth of a legend

In the summer of 2009, something extraordinary happened off the coast of New England. A fisherman pulled up his lobster pot and couldn't believe his eyes: a bright yellow lobster – a sight that statistically occurs only once every 30 million catches. This incredible discovery inspired the creative minds at Nike SB and the Boston-based sneaker shop Concepts to create something truly special.

They decided to immortalize this natural wonder in a sneaker, creating the Yellow Lobster – a shoe as rare as its natural counterpart. In a world where limited editions often still include thousands of pieces, they pushed the boundaries: only 36 pairs were made, each one unique, each a piece of sneaker history.

Top-level exclusivity:

• Only 36 pairs worldwide
• Distributed solely as Friends & Family release
• Inspired by a natural phenomenon with a 1 in 30 million chance

A design that tells a story

The Yellow Lobster isn’t just special because of its rarity; its thoughtful design plays a role too:

• Premium yellow suede upper resembling a lobster shell
• Smart rubber band around the toe area, reminiscent of the bands securing real lobsters' claws
• Lining inspired by the checkered napkins used in lobster restaurants
• Official color code "Yellow Ochre/Terra Brown" reflects the hues of the rare yellow lobster

Every detail tells part of the story and makes this shoe a true work of art.
