Yes, Mr. Robinson served as one of the original spokesmen for the Nike Force Camp, fresh off serving our country as a member of the US Navy. The Admiral had an admirable career and a shoe resume to match. Nostalgic high tops that still seek the retro treatment, such as the Nike Air Command Force and Nike Air Unlimited, can thank D-Rob for their favor.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Kawhi Leonard<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Duration:<\/strong> 2011-Present<br \/>\n<strong>Best Kicks:<\/strong> Nike Air Max2 CB 94, Air Jordan 14 &#8220;Light Graphite&#8221;, Air Jordan 5 &#8220;Wolf Grey&#8221;, Nike Air Force Max 2013, Air Jordan 12 Low, Air Jordan 3 Retro &#8217;88<\/p>\n<p>Kawhi Leonard helped put San Diego State on the map for college hoops and sneaker heat during his amateur era.
