On Valentine’s Day, Nate Robinson told us he’d be wearing “green shoes” for the dunk contest. During the All-Star Dunk Contest, Lil’ Nate broke out a pair of lime green pair of Nike Foamposite Lite a.k.a. “Kryptonates”, hopped over Dwight Howard and took the competition.

Sported by Amare Stoudemire and Caron Butler, the inventive Nike Foamposite Lite is the latest installment in the brand’s venerable ‘Posite stable. Featuring an armour-esque Polyurethane upper, and external heel counter, the Lite is augmented by a Carbon Fiber shank plate and 5mm Zoom Air bag embedded in the heel. The Nike Basketball shoe is available now in a black/anthracite colorway (Expect a bevy of team-oriented schemes to drop later in ‘09!) at Eastbay for $154.99.
