Sneakerheads have to feel Warren Sapp’s pain (minus the lucky one that got the collection). Warren Sapp had a chance to buy back some of the items he lost in his bankruptcy case — including jewelry and a surf board — but the one thing he wasn’t allowed to buy back was his collection of kicks (although he may have been able to get his hands on a few) — and they’ve now been sold!
Details after the jump…
Via TMZ:
Someone else is finally gonna know what it’s like to walk a mile in Warren Sapp’s shoes … ’cause some sneakerhead just bought 213 pairs of Warren’s Nikes in a bankruptcy auction, TMZ has learned.
We broke the story … Warren’s shoes were seized by a court-appointed bankruptcy trustee when the NFL Hall of Famer filed for Chapter 7 back in 2012 after claiming he was millions of dollars in debt.
Now, as part of the deal Warren struck with his creditors, some of his items were sold at a bankruptcy auction … including 213 pairs of Nikes, which sold to a guy from Connecticut for a whopping $6,390.
For the record, that breaks down to $30 a pair … not bad for some pretty sick kicks (some appeared to have never been worn).
Now here’s the rub — Warren initially reported that he owned 240 PAIRS of Nikes … so, there are 27 pairs of shoes that weren’t included in the sale … and it’s possible, the remainders could be so valuable, they’ll be auctioned off in a separate sale.
Then again, Warren was also given the opportunity to buy back some of his assets … so it’s possible he managed to hang on to his faves.
