Nike Dunk SB Low Yellow Lobster Sample

Bidding commences on 7 October through Sotheby’s online

When the second iteration of Sotheby’s Cult Canvas sale begins, the first item on the list for many sneakerheads will be Nike’s iconic Yellow Lobster sample – a particularly sought-after edition from the Bostoninspired series. Named after the odds of pulling up a Maine lobster trap and finding a yellow lobster (about one in 40 million, according to Nike), the Yellow Lobster Dunk Low Pro SB is even harder to find. Only 36 pairs are said to have been made, none of which were found at retail, making these sneakers – which have a top estimate of HK$390,000 – an enticingly rare gem indeed.
