It's been said that no matter how ridiculous an idea may be, as long as it’s thought through well enough, it still has the potential to turn out really amazing. Take for example Nike SB's recent sneaker collaboration with Concepts (an 'urban wear' store in Cambridge, MA) and Pilot (a Boston design studio). This particular idea could have been absolutely ridiculous, but in my opinion turned out to be brilliant.

Evidentially, what Concepts did was take Nike's 'Dunk Low' Sneaker and Lobster-ize it, decking out the leather in shades of orange-y reds, putting a table cloth pattern inside the shoe, and even throwing some rubber bands on the toes!

Pilot then came in with some hi-impact packaging and put the shoes in a wooden box, much like a lobster trap -- limited to only 200 pairs nationwide and sold only at one shop -- packaging also included a few t-shirts, some lobster crackers, a poster and even an extra pair of butter yellow laces.

While I currently live outside NYC, I grew up in Maine and actually appreciate the entire execution. Everything works. And, evidentially I'm not the only one who thinks so ... while the sneaker was just released this weekend at $150 a pair, someone has already listed them on Ebay for $1999. (Looks like I missed the boat.)

No, these kicks aren’t for everyone, but they’ll thrill the right urban-minded-attention-seeker-wealthy-I-don't-give-a-damn-what-you-think type.
