Ex-NBA player Quentin Richardson has a big sneaker collection. It so big that he doesn't even have a rough estimate for it. Right now, he just hopes his sons grow into size 15 so they can wear it.
Richardson reveals that he has shoes kept at different houses — his own house, his friend's, parents', and other relatives, and even a storage unit on Orlando.
“I have no clue how many shoes I own now. I have stuff stored at my house in Orlando, at my best friend’s house in Orlando, at my dad’s house in Chicago, at my sister’s house in Chicago, at a storage unit in Chicago and at a storage unit in Orlando,” he told Alex Kennedy of Hoops Hype.
The 38-year-old hopes that his two sons would grow up to be size 15s so that his shoe collection won't go to waste:
I have two sons and I hope they end up being size 15 because I’m saving my real heat for them, like my number PEs (Player Exclusives) and my Retros.
Though some of you might be wondering, does he actually spend thousands of dollars on his sneakers? Not really. Richardson, despite having played his last game in the NBA 2013, still gets free shoes from time to time:
I don’t buy anything. I don’t even buy my kid new shoes.
He’s wearing new Jordans and gets stuff before it even comes out! He’s cooler than I ever was, so I don’t want to hear it; he’s fine.
