Here's an update from Nike.com. They finally gave me a straight answer as to the Swoosh color:
[color= rgb(76, 196, 31)]Ryan Johnsen[/color]: Yes. Question on the Easter Pack release for this Friday
[color= rgb(76, 196, 31)]Ryan Johnsen[/color]: The pictures Nike released showed a purple swoosh on the shoe, but I know shoes have been shipped to stores that have a black swoosh.
[color= rgb(76, 196, 31)]Ryan Johnsen[/color]: What are the actual shoes that Nike.com will be releasing?
[color= rgb(250, 84, 0)]Brandon[/color]: I can check on that for you, what shoe edition where you referring to?
[color= rgb(250, 84, 0)]Brandon[/color]: The Kobe 8?
[color= rgb(76, 196, 31)]Ryan Johnsen[/color]: Yes sir.
[color= rgb(250, 84, 0)]Brandon[/color]: OK. One moment
[color= rgb(250, 84, 0)]Brandon[/color]: OK. IT looks like the show pics showing the purple swoosh were pre production pictures and the design was updated to have the black swoosh instead so we will be launching with the black swoosh
[color= rgb(76, 196, 31)]Ryan Johnsen[/color]: Okay cool. Thanks for the update. Will they be TLO or a general release?
[color= rgb(250, 84, 0)]Brandon[/color]: So far there is nothing posted on the launch list about it being a twitter only launch so it would be launching normally on our website
[color= rgb(76, 196, 31)]Ryan Johnsen[/color]: Perfect. Thanks for all your help.
