And you thought you were obsessed with your sneakers. Joe Johnson—who, despite the NBA lockout, definitely has plenty of extra money laying around thanks to his absolutely absurd max contract—recently built a sneaker closet inside his house. A 500-square-foot sneaker closet. Equipped with a fingerprint sensor and more than 430 pairs of sneakers, it's just one of the many perks of being one of the most overpaid athletes in the history of the NBA.
"I wanted to display all of my shoes, so I had this 500-square-foot closet made," Johnson told ESPN the Magazine recently. "I just thought this would be a cool idea, and it would almost look like a museum. I had a fingerprint sensor put on the door to make sure I'm the only one who can get in here. I mostly wear Air Jordans. All of the Jordan guys are selected by Michael Jordan himself. It's kind of hard to tell MJ no. I have 436 pairs of sneakers in here, and they're mostly unworn. I'll wear all of them eventually."
You lucky SOB. Sorry, dude, but it's really hard not to hate you right now. [via Ball Don't Lie]
