Hey there Bob, I can tell you that there are definitely 2 different hues of purple ladybug 3's but they were not a special sprint. If you are searching for the earlier one (being the lighter blue/lilac looking one) you'll be looking for one that is pin construction over the newer torx pivot(hopefully any sellers have pictures of both sides so you can see the pivot). It seems the color change happened when along with a little CQI when they updated the pivots and went to the darker purple.

Good luck finding the older version.
