I was lucky to be in San Francisco last Tuesday, where I saw my Knicks get waxed by the Golden State Warriors. After the game, Nate Robinson told me that he would be wearing green shoes for the Sprite Slam Dunk contest. Kryptonate would not ellaborate as to the style, make, or model of the shoes… all he would say is that they are green. Those green shoes Kryptonate teased us about ended up being a lime-green colorway of the Nike Foamposite Lite. -Via Sneaker FIles
Kryptonate wore the green Nike Foamposite Lite shoes to jump over Dwight Howard (dressed as Superman) during the final round of the 2009 Sprite Slam Dunk Contest, and take his second trophy home to New York.

The shoes that were sold on ebay were a fake AZballa is a liar dont buy any of the shoes that claim to be the real “kryptonate” shoes because its a SCAM!!! Nate Robinson was not at a after party where public people can get into with his shoes he still has them and is doing a filming WEARING them on the David Letterman show. The shoes are a one of a kind custom pair of Nike Foamposite Lites and only ONE pair was made just for Nate. They may become available for a limited time if at all and will be a high cost because regular foamposite lites are $160. They might hit the shelves for a little bit like the limited additon jordans, it would be nice to see them out for a long time and have him have his own shoe line but the odds are slim
