Getting my kicks!
Posted: Thursday, December 21 at 09:00 am ET by Nate Robinson
Guess what everyone ... I've got my own shoe! As part of the 25th anniversary of the popular Air Force One, Nike decided to re-release different versions of the shoe, including one just for me.
I've always been a big fan of the Air Force One, so it's pretty cool to have my own version. I got to go to a party and see the new shoe, and pose for some photos, as you can see here...

I also met Tracy Teague, who designed the shoe. He said the new Air Force Ones have the best cushion and support of any shoe he's designed. Click here, or on the photo of Tracy and I below to watch the video.

And so without further ado, here is my shoe. Check out the Knicks colors! Make sure you let me know what you think.

I see you got to put some Rainier Beach flavor into the shoe as well. Hope the suede leather holds up in these wet Seattle winters. Don't listen to those above, gotta keep the strap to hold it down like back in Drama class.

I think the people who don't like the shoe are HATERS!!!
By the way, I don't like the shoe.

Hey Nate,
Tought loss Monday night against Cavs, you guys looked solid in the first quarter and a half but couldn't keep it up. At the end of the game it looked like LBJ gave you a little pep-talk. If you don't mind sharing...what did he say to you and how did the 2 of you become friends?
Good luck with the shoe and the Wizards on Wednesday.

Yo Nate I like the shoes for the most part but the brown is a little ugly. Anyway, I have to say that if you weren't on the Knicks I would have had to convert to a Nets fan because it was getting ugly. The spark you bring to the game every night is amazing. It seems the crowd only wants to cheer for you. Keep up the hard worl and you'll surely get to the starting lineup. By the way, what did Lebron say to you at the end of last night's game?

Hey Nate,
Great game Wednesday night against the Wiz! It must have felt good to blow out a decent team at home. The second unit is looking ggod! I would say the Knicks second team is better then almost any other in the league!
Keep up the hard play, the short-handed Heat will be no match if you guys play like you did Wednesday night.

Found this on USA Today
"—After the New York game, LeBron James was seen talking to Knicks guard Nate Robinson, who had 19 points on Monday.
"I told him I liked the way he approaches the game of basketball," James said. "You can tell he loves the game." It used to be veteran players who gave James encouragement. "Now, I'm the old guy, I guess," said James, who turns 22 on December 30. Robinson already turned 22 in May"

Nate last night they played the 2002 Apple Cup. That interception you had was one the greatest plays in UW football history. I Had to get the NBA package on comcast to catch you and the Knicks.

im a big fun of you i would to have your vertical leap!!
i would like to ask how you ended up to have this amazing 43+inches vertical leap! have you ever done any vertical jump program in the past i mean, you have this leap because of your genetics or you have been doing weight program like squats deadlifts for a long time.
i dont know if you will get my message but i d like to know that ur my ideal idol!!

I'm sorry, but you need to fire that guy. Unless those shoes make you score 30 a night and then fixes you a sandwich, you need to leave them at home, in the basement.

I bet you wish you would have stayed a Phoenix Suns for longer then 15 minutes.

Good luck with the rest of your season.
