File these under “welcome changes”. The Nike SB Dunk Mid Pro ‘Donatello’ dropped back in April 2008 and was one of the better received general releases that year. There’s really only one main difference between the released version and this unreleased sample: the side panel colour. Whereas the retail Ninja Turtle Dunks have a brown tumbled leather underlay, these samples had white. Turns out, brown makes for a much better balance, but now these are significantly more valuable because of their rarity. SoleRhythm will sell or consider trades for the size 9 they have in stock.
