According to the interview, the assortment rate of getting a Yellow Lobster is only 2%, 1 of 50, at the limited packaging Blue Lobster release. There were 250 pair at release, so 5 of them are yellow, and 245 are just blue lobsters. Yellow lobsters are one of the rarest lobsters in the world.

I Hated The TV Show Twin Peaks

But I like this shoe...
This Twin Peaks inspired Dunk SB High a.k.a “Night Owl” is hitting European retailers including Caliroots. The shoes feature a black suede upper with green stitching and an ice sole. An owl is standing above the swoosh on the heel. The insole features the floor design of the television serial drama “Twin Peaks”.

Nike Summer '08 Dunk SB “720 Degrees”

Previously revealed in the Nike SB Summer 2008 catalog, now we got more information about its story behind. It is inspired by the first skateboarding arcade game, 720 Degrees, manufactured by Atari Games in 1986.

720 Degrees, or 720°, is a 1986 arcade game by Atari Games. 720°, a skateboarding game, is notable in that it is the first extreme sports video game, and has a unique timed structure that requires the player score points in order to keep the game going. The game’s name comes from the “ultimate” trick, turning a full 720° (two complete circles) in the air after jumping off a ramp. 720° has the player controlling a skateboarder ripping around a middle-class neighborhood. By doing jumps and tricks, the player can eventually acquire enough points to compete at a skate park.

Nike SB X U2 sunday bloody sunday

Nike continues to tease us with their "Classic Rock" Pack. This time U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is the inspiration for what is my favorite shoe in the pack so far! And make no mistake, I am already a big fan of the "November Rain" G&R Dunk Mid. But this one with the crushed velvet on the heel and the gold outline on the swoosh is just a neckbreaker. Really sweet and nicely designed in my opinion.
