Day Dream Film Works recently released a little trailer to their upcoming documentary on Air Jordans and the hardcore heads that have been driven to collect and acquire all things Jordan since first witnessing Jordan on the court. For many of us, we all stumbled upon Jordan at different time frames in his career dependent on our age and when we grew up. Some of us have been there since the start, circa’ 1985 Slam Dunk Competition and the infamous I’s, others came along later for you could always put Jordan and enchantment together the first time you watched him play.

If people haven’t checked their Chinese horoscopes yet, HB would like to let you guys know that 2007 is the year of the pig. With that in mind, Nike developed this shoe to commemorate this sign that describes those born under it as a fun enlightened person who’s blessed with patience and understanding. As for the shoe, the “Year of the Pig Dunks” sport different shades of the color pink with a red and gold foot bedding. It also contains suede material on its inside panels, with the ankle panel having an embossed Chinese pattern design. Definitely a great shoe to own for those “Year of the Pig” heads.
