Inspired by New England’s famous lobster feast and heritage, Nike SB has worked with Boston premier sneaker/skate boutique Concepts to release a pair of Nike SB “Lobster”. This lobsters have managed to swim all the way to our shore but they DO NOT come with the special “lobster cage” boxes which were done only for the first 50 pairs sold in Concepts store. The box which stated “Concepts Fishing Company” contained a lobster claw rubber band, a tee shirt, a condiment box (which includes lobster shell cracker, fork, bib, an extra set of laces, and wet nap) and a poster, all put into a traditional paper bag used by typical, New England lobster retailers. Aren’t we are suckers for special packaging!!?

Nike SB “Lobster” will soon be available at Limited Edt.2 (Singapore), Preduce (Bangkok, Thailand) and Showroom (KL, Malaysia).

“If you ain’t on the guest list, you ain’t cummin in” is the tag line for Lapsap, the most banging private party in town. The guys will be celebrating their first birthday soon and will be taking some time off their regular Lapsap schedule to plan their anniversary gig; the Streething crew was at Palate Palette to catch the action one last time before the break.

Straight out the Innovation Kitchen - Nike’s development lab for unconventional ideas - is the Air Rejuven8; a shoe that is specifically engineered to help tired feet recuperate in anticipation for the next bout of activity - perfect for athletes/those with active lifestyles to wear in-between sports.

The shoe’s design is specially formulated to increase comfort and breathability whilst being as light as possible; fusing elements of various Nike technologies - such as Considered, Presto, Free and the made-for-space Zvezdockha - towards the next evolutionary step in sneaker design. The result is a lightweight-rubber outer-skeleton with the flexibility of Free technology, with an inner-bootie that can be worn without socks to increase airflow.

Being a performance sneaker that does not focus on actual “On-field” performance, the Air Rejuven8 has garnered much attention since being announced; with positive responses from athletes and people just looking for a pair of shoes for general use, it looks like Nike has just done it - again.

The Nike Air Rejuven8 is currently available in several colours (Not pictured) at Nike Performance stockists in Malaysia as well as South East Asia.

For us in South East Asia, our 24/7 tropical sunshine practically ensures they’ll pop almost anytime of the year (Apart from the monsoon season, where only the brave dare to rock suede…).

The collection will drop at American flagship stores on 22nd May 2008, the online store will get them on the 23rd and Japan will get them on the 24th. Don’t forget to hit up your local reseller stores.
