Like concept cars at auto shows, many sneaker designs never make it out of the lab--or at least into the market. Jeff Staple happens to be one of those lucky guys who is both talented AND connected, and shares his finds, gifts and information on his blogs [personal one, Honeyee blog]. As the head of Staple Design, his place is forever cemented in sneaker history for his creation of the storied Pigeon Dunk [real ones still command close to $2,000 on eBay]. [End Jeff Staple hero-worship here...for now.]
As a faithful reader of all things Staple, I was both amused and amazed at him dropping information on the "Lobster" SB designed by Rob from Weekly Drop in conjunction with Concepts in Boston. Notice the incredible detailing, including the rubber bands that usually go around fresh lobster claws and the picnic basket design. If these do come out, I will rock these when I head to Martha's Vineyard next summer for sure.
