Travis Kelce has recently received a lot of attention due to his relationship with Taylor Swift, but he will always be remembered for his legendary effect in the NFL.

Given your skill and zeal on the field, being in the NFL nearly always guarantees a large salary. Travis has had a tremendous career so far, including some remarkable performances for the Kansas City Chiefs.

According to Celebrity Net Worth statistics, he is currently worth $40 million! However, success did not come easily due to the years of adversity he had to overcome in order to become a well-paid sports athlete.

Travis Kelce once stunned his brother Jason Kelce with this expensive purchase in his rookie year.

Travis had one burning goal when he joined the Chiefs in 2013, and that was to get one of the most costly pairs of shoes one could not afford. According to CNBC, he was still a rookie at the time and had a deal worth $3.2 million.

With a first paycheck comes the delight of purchasing whatever one’s heart desires, despite the gnawing fear that there may be a limit.

Travis has always had a strong fondness for one thing: footwear. For any sneakerhead, aesthetics, style, and, of course, the brand define a collector or enthusiast in general.

And it doesn’t get any more visually appealing than the Nike Air Mag Marty McFly, which is also one of the most costly sneakers. According to sources, the shoes were first produced in 2011 and sold for between $10,600 and $15,900. But, according to a BBC piece from 2018, these shoes sold at a Sotheby’s auction for approximately $100,000!

During an interview with his older brother Jason on their podcast, New Heights, earlier this year, Jason described being completely taken aback when he learned of his brother’s expensive purchase in only his rookie year.

However, none of this mattered to Travis because those shoes were “the coolest shoes” he’d ever seen. In the podcast, the brothers had an amusing discussion over Travis’ purchase. Before the interview began, Jason questioned in good spirit, “You bought those shoes in your rookie year?!”

Jason had no idea his younger brother was considering such a big purchase so early on, and he was shocked to learn about it from someone else. Jason remarked, slightly irritated, “Somebody came up to me and told me you had bought these shoes.” He added, “I looked them up and saw how much they were.”
