Kryptonate and Superman? For one night, the two opposing forces took the night off as Nate Robinson rocked the Superman-inspired Air Jordan IV ‘Doernbecher’ during the Rip City Basketball Classic Charity Game. The event, arranged and hosted by Portland Trail Blazers’ forward LaMarcus Aldridge, is just the latest in the ‘unofficial season’ of exhibition games, which have been featuring the league’s biggest stars and fan draws.

Comic-book superhero Superman has been a long-time popular pick for Halloween costumes, and for on Halloween party down in Atlanta, hip-hop artist Fabolous decided to rock the S on his chest for the festivities – sort of. Fabolous broke out a pair of the Air Jordan IV Doernbecher, designed by 11-year-old Isaiah Scott; Scott, who was given the ‘Superman’ nickname by his mother for his courageous and stoic demeanor when facing the trials of his disease, used the Man Of Steel as the primary inspiration behind his design.
