Lobster On The Way

Back in 2008, Boston based retailer CNCPTS made major waves in the sneaker world with their insanely popular Nike SB Dunk Low “Lobster” 🦞

Using A1 red nubuck leather, the shoe literally looked like a living lobster (the blue rubber band and tablecloth sock lining helped). While the Lobster commanded a decent resale value back in '08, they’ve exploded in value in the past few years, currently going for about $4K...ouch 💸

As popular as the OG red lobsters were, the additional F&F colorways are far more exclusive and impossible to acquire. Fortunately the sixth orange variation is slated for a release the near future. Peep this fire graphic 🔥

While we don't love all of these colorways (the green and purple were weird), we're fully back on the bandwagon with this new Orange Lobster 🍊

Maybe it's because they closely resembles the OG red pair we grew up with, but these are definitely a must cop for us ✅

Bad Bunny x adidas

After months of leaked photos, adidas Originals has finally announced Bad Bunny’s Forum Buckel in “Blue Sky”. Arguably the biggest pop star on the planet, Bad Bunny commands a massive audience of extremely loyal and dedicated fans who will surely show up for him on the August 27th release date 🐰

While the Forum Buckle obviously takes a lot of inspiration from the OG Forum, the chunky padding gives the sneaker a skate shoe look. Championed by Virgil Abloh and run into the ground by luxury brands like Lanvin, the skate shoe has been experiencing a major fashion renaissance, and adidas is shrewdly looking to capitalize

On a design note, a velcro strap on a low top shoe is certainly unconventional, but we salute adidas for giving buyers the option to remove it altogether 🖖

Skate shoe, lifestyle shoe, velcro strap, no strap…it really doesn't matter, these shoes are gonna be a huge hit with Benito’s (aka Bad Bunny) legion of loyalists 🎵
