“I want to fuse that crazy, crazy lime green with a Foamposite One.” – Nate Robinson

In case you missed it, Warriors guard Nate Robinson discussed his favorite Kicks On Court moments regarding fellow nominees in the latest Kicks On Court Weekly Recap this past Saturday. That’s not all Mr. Robinson shared with us, however. In our lengthy conversation with him, Nate vigorously touched on a number of sneaker topics, including a special deal he plans to propose to Nike soon. Check out what Nate said about his “Kryptonate” moment in the 2009 Sprite Slam Dunk Contest and his attempt to get a “Kryptonate” Foamposite in motion in this interview excerpt.

**Note** Stay tuned for another excerpt in addition to our full interview with Nate Robinson later this week.

Nike Air Foamposite Lite "Kryptonate"

Snkrs Day: Wearing the “Kryptonate” Foamposite Lites in the 2009 Sprite Dunk Contest was one of, if not the biggest Kicks On Court moment within the past five years. Will we see more “Kryptonate” shoes in the future or was that just a one-time thing?

Nate Robinson: Well, the “Kryptonate” thing was perfect, and it made sense because it was the Dunk Contest and I was going against Dwight Howard who has the whole Superman theme going. Those shoes are so awesome, man – defeating Superman and the Kryptonite green was great. Those are pretty sweet. Right now, I’m working on a deal that I’m going to talk to Nike about. I have one of the sickest ideas. I want to see a special edition “Kryptonate” Foamposite One. I want to pitch this to Nike. I want them to come out with that “Kryptonate” colorway on the Foamposite One. They need to make them in that color because Penny was one of my favorite players growing up next to Michael Jordan and Allen Iverson. I’m a big Penny fan, and I love when Nike recreates those old classics, like the Foamposite One, in new colorways. I’m going to pitch that to Nike real soon.”
