Nike Sb Dunk Low Appraisal

Nike SB Dunk Low 'Blue Lobster' Sneakers

This item is a pair of Nike SB Dunk Low sneakers, notable for their distinct colorway and design, which appears to be the 'Blue Lobster' iteration. The sneakers feature a multi-colored upper constructed from a combination of leather and suede. The toe box is a deep black, possibly leather, with perforations for breathability. Surrounding the toe are overlays of a vibrant teal-blue suede, which also extends to the heel and eyelets. The midfoot panel is black, and there's a striking orange suede section just above the toe box and on the side panels, which is also visible around the ankle collar. The iconic Nike 'swoosh' logo on the side is a lighter blue or greenish-blue, outlined in black, with a texture that mimics the 'spiny' appearance of a lobster. Bright neon yellow laces provide a bold contrast to the upper's color palette. The interior lining of the shoe, particularly around the collar, features an orange fabric. A distinguishing graphic pattern, predominantly yellow with black concentric circles suggestive of a lobster's eye or shell, is visible on the inner heel portion of the shoe, wrapping around to the outer side. The tongue of the shoe is black with a yellow 'NIKE SB' logo visible. The overall condition appears to be used, with some signs of wear consistent with normal use, including slight creasing on the toe box and potential scuffing on the suede areas, though no significant damage or repairs are immediately evident. The bright lacing and unique color blocking, along with the specific 'Blue Lobster' theme, suggest these are a limited edition or highly sought-after release. The craftsmanship appears to be of high quality, typical of Nike's SB (Skateboarding) line, known for durable construction. The estimated age places these within the 2000s to early 2010s, a period when themed Dunk Lows were highly popular. The visible 'SB' branding indicates their origin as part of Nike's skateboarding division.
