A Nike LeBron retro is inevitable, especially since Nike Basketball recently dipped into the retro well with the Nike Kobe line via the Prelude series.

Suggesting that it's finally happening is this image of what is, according to the source, a Nike LeBron 2 "Dunkman" retro sample. Note that this pair differs from the original version in that it's got the newer "LJ" logo embroidered onto the heel, rather than the "L23" emblem that appeared on the original shoe.

What's confusing here is the idea of Nike bringing out a Nike LeBron 2 retro before bringing back LeBron James' first shoe, the Air Zoom Generation.

Sole Collector will update with any information on this Nike LeBron 2 "Dunkman" retro.
