Taken from a photo of Lebron’s right arm fully extended as he soared through the air, the “Dunkman” was born. Much like the Jumpman was to Jordan, the Dunkman has been a symbol for Lebron taken from a photo in his rookie year.

A special “Dunkman” PE of the Lebron II was the first created in a unique grey and neon green colorway. Ever since it has touched each Lebron signature model as well as a few others.

With the Dunkman Lebron V is quickly approaching on the horizon, Kenlu of [ABT] put together a pictorial representation of the progression of the “Dunkman.”

Take a look at the detailed shots as well as side by sides after the jump.
