So more pics of the recently spotted “yellow lobsters” collab between Concepts and Nike SB have surfaced. They’re not quite as fugly as I thought, but I still think they’re awful. No info has been released, so I guess these pics are just for hype? Irritating, but whatever. (via sneakermaniac) -Matt
