I apologize sincerely but I gotta have my ex-wife Oprah SMH at all at you so called "Collectors" for passing up on that Dunkman with the Halo on the logo.
I have 3 pairs of Dunkmans here (2 pairs with Halo and 1 without). The ones with the Halo's were the ones from the "sample run" that didnt get destroyed and somehow "magically" ended up in the public hands. The pairs that have the "Double Swingman" logo on em are a bit LIGHTER overall in color than the ones without the Halo (the pairs made for the public after the sample got approved).
(3 month old pic of the "Sample Run" that most Nike VIPs and select sneaker bloggers recieved early---pic from SneakerNews.com)
There wont be too many pairs popping up with "Halos" on the Dunkman logo after the restock happens so for all of us that copped with a HALO and for those that might find a pair for their "Collection", dont forget to do one thing ...

This has got to be a joke. Where exactly did you get this info? Every pair I've seen is identical in shade, regardless of the logo.
They really needed to do something different with the Swoosh.Originally Posted by WITNESSkb24

That was my only knock on the dunkmans was the swoosh, I will still try to cop tomorrow regardless but I really wish the swoosh was green

I'm born in '82 and my pops got me into the "Shoe Culture", so I have tons of knowledge STOCKED here due to the fact that I grew up with this. (Over 20 years plus of copping dating back to when the "FINGERHUT" catalog sold Reeboks yo!!)Originally Posted by rawdawg34
And Nemo, I am not a collector anymore so I could care less about that halo. In fact I have been to a few stores this week where they had more with the halo than without. So that sample statement while most likely true, doesn't really hold up. So what's the point?
I have been "collecting" kicks since the late 80s. What year were you born?

Now lets discuss this "Logo" error and why ya'll "Collectors" should be all over it --
Nike RARELY admits to mistakes and RARELY let sample specs hit the public hands. That LOGO is from the sample run that was produced when NIKE had the idea of releasing this years Dunkman with the Swingman as a pack, but since the Dunkman is a yearly shoe they prolly nixed that idea during the middle of production, which would leave those early pairs of Dunkmans with the "Swingman" logo to be destroyed.
They didnt get destroyed and being that the shoes were sent out to vendors months ago and distributed amongst retailers already. I assume Nike decided to let ride cause its senseless to call back over 15k -25k sneakers to pull 800 -1000 pairs due to an error.
The most RECENT example for this I can think of off the top of my head is the Draft Day Kobe IV', in which the 1st run of shoes was produced and sold to the public with the WRONG draft date on em, and most of us know how that one went lol --
(^^Nike ERROR with wrong date)
(^^Nike's 2nd run with correct date)
...So if you didnt copp a pair with a HALO but got home and realized what was happening just remember this for next time ...
Please dont be SALTY cause YOU passed on em.
Everyone has the right to choose what pair of kicks they want to rock, I chose the pairs with the Logo error cause out of ALL of my homies who grabbed Dunkmans, I'll be that guy with the different Logo on the heel, some of us just want to stand out and have that "lil extra on top" - Hope this makes sense and apologies for ranting lol

Oh for real? *waits for you to begin listing pairs with the halo in the buy/sell forum for 500 like others have done....*Nice try thou maybe your on from an alt account to drum up hype for an error. So I suppose air Randy's JORQAN 11s should be more rare since it has a Q in it?

Hype kills and all the dudes that rushed out to stores and bought up wrong date draft days should of just bought Enron stock. Check eBay. 140 bucks for draft days. End all this halo non halo crap.
