Shannon Sharpe Traded Super Bowl Tickets for Yeezy 'Red October' Sneakers

A good pair of shoes can be quite valuable. In Shannon Sharpe's mind, they were worth tickets to Super Bowl LII. 

The Undisputed host apparently wanted the Nike Yeezy 2 "Red October" sneakers so badly he traded tickets to a fan he met on social media.

Sharpe explained the situation while going sneaker shopping in a video for Complex:

"I heard about 'em, but didn’t know anybody who had 'em," Sharpe said about the situation, via Robby Kalland of Uproxx. "And this guy started following me from Boston called Richie Nuzzo and he had 'em. He happened to be a 13 and I was like, 'bruh let me get those.' And he was like, 'I kinda want to keep them for myself.' Big Patriots fan, so I was like, 'I'll tell you what I'll do, you give me those shoes, I'll give you tickets to the Super Bowl.'"

It might have been difficult for the fan to get the shoes, but this seems like a good deal for a New England Patriots fan even if the team lost to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Considering it cost at least $2,800 for tickets on the secondary market, per Alex Kay of Forbes, he should be happy with his decision.
