Travis Kelce state emphatically
Travis had little to show for his rookie season earnings, aside from “some of my favorite shoes,” he said on the podcast, which is co-hosted with his brother and Philadelphia Eagles center, Jason Kelce.
“I had my eyes on a pair of size 13 Nike Air MAG ‘Marty McFlys’ — the coolest shoes that I’d ever seen in my life,” Travis said. “As soon as I got my check, I immediately went online and sourced them.”
A shoe collector, Travis said he spent around $10,000 on the limited edition sneaker.
“Somebody came up to me and told me that you had bought those shoes and I looked up how much they were and I remember being like, ‘What the f— , Travis,'” laughed Jason.Travis’s rookie season spending habits didn’t get better from there. Between games, he often traveled to Las Vegas and Florida, spending “way too much money in clubs.”
“The dumbest thing I ever bought with my rookie money was bottles in the club,” he said, referring to VIP bottle service in nightclubs that can cost thousands of dollars.
“I was avoiding the rent lady because I was so stupid to agree to all those bottles,” Travis said. “Rookies out there, don’t get caught up in buying bottles, it’s the fastest way to lose your money.”
Since Travis was only paid early in the year, he says he was nearly broke before the start of his second season.
