CB94: Nate Robinson needs your help.
Of course it’s the shoes.
As you may or may not realize, Knick guard Nate Robinson is a Nike athlete. Like, for real. One of the Force guys, actually, along with dudes like Amare Stoudemire, Jermaine O’Neal and Al Harrington. He’s even got his own version of the Air Force 25, in Knicks colors, printed with his image. There’s a pair on top of his locker, and he sent other pairs to his brothers, who are still in high school.
Yet look at his feet before his latest game, and he isn’t wearing AF25s. Instead he’s in an all-white version of the CB94, a Max shoe that was Charles Barkley’s signature kick back in (duh) ‘94. Re-released in the past couple of years, it quickly became Robinson’s favorite shoe. He wore it at Washington, and has been wearing it for a good portion of this season.
Here’s the thing, though. Nike isn’t making them anymore, at least not in the basic black and white colorways. And Nate is always looking for more. While he says a pair lasts him up to 20 games, he still doesn’t have enough (especially in black). And since Nike no longer has them in stock, he’s been having a friend buy pairs for him on eBay. For real!
So if you have any new CB94s in all white or all black in a size 11, holla at the Knicks. Maybe you can work out a deal.

Wow. I wear the same shoe size as Nate Robinson. Then again, I’m taller than he is. Maybe he’ll read this and say “Wow. I wear the same shoe size as Seth!”

I have no idea. We didn’t get into that. I assume if his boy is picking them up for him on eBay, he pays the going rate—whatever that is. He needs to get some Knick colorups done, but hasn’t had any luck convincing anyone at Nike yet.

How cheap is Nike to not get one or two sweatshops cranking out the CB94’s for one of their signature athletes? I’m sure it would not damage the profit margins irreparably.

Nate Robinson is not a “signature athlete” on Nike, Chris Bosh isnt even a signature athlete on Nike. I wish someone would start wearing the old Pippen Air More Tempos’

Actually, Nate is becoming one of the signature guys. He’s one of the six guys they included in the AF25 Six Pack they did.

Nate needs to give ‘Dre back the slam dunk contest championship before he starts asking others for their things. Sorry I’m still a bitter Arizona fan.

Nate know is shoes, i have a pair of cb94 and there’s my favorite shoes. I never had shoes who came even close to those shoes on a basketball court. I would’t sell those shoes if they where the good size(mine are 9,5). I really think that those shoes are increadible. And I think the new shoes are not as good as the mid 90’s shoes.

Blaxx, if you think 11 is the “universal shoe size” you’re quite retarded. the standard sample shoe size is 9.
