When he isn't making big plays on Sundays, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is probably cracking open shipping boxes from his friends at Jordan Brand.
Talking to the Star-Telegram's Clarence Hill Jr., Bryant said he owns between 3,000 and 3,500 pairs of sneakers — all Air Jordans. He currently uses his closet, a locker room in his home, two extra spare rooms and multiple garages for storage.
While Cowboys rookies Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott exchange social media jabs at each others' shoes, Bryant wants his teammates to know that they all have a long way to go to catch up with him.
“Nobody has better shoe game than me, beside Jordan himself,” said Bryant. “[My teammates] are too busy worrying about the next new thing I’m going to have on my feet. I give them something fresh. I’m not wearing a shoe after it releases."
That's right: once a sneaker releases, Bryant puts it on ice for good, telling Hill that he's already wearing Jordans from January 2017.
That's easy to do when the shipments never stop. According to Bryant, he gets at least 50 pairs of shoes a month from Nike and Jordan Brand. He can't possibly wear them all, so he plans to give them away to charity in the future.
