"My shoe game is going to be crazy."

That was the first thing that came to mind for Nate Robinson after he had signed on to play this upcoming season with the Chicago Bulls.

A lifelong fan of Mike's -- like all of us -- Nate is looking forward to living out a dream of his all year long by suiting up for the Bulls and breaking out his favorite Jordans on the regular. 

Last night in Minneapolis, Robinson pulled out a pair of Black / Varsity Red Retro 6s for a preseason road game. The VIs are among the top of his favorite models, along with the XI and XIIIs. Then again, he likes the III, the IV, likes hooping in II and IX, and likes kicking around the XIIs. The guy likes Jordans basically.

Check back all week long for video interviews with Nate detailing how he first got into sneakers and what his early favorites were growing up.
