In a recent interview, Kylie Kelce revealed that her husband, NFL star Travis Kelce, splurged his first NFL paycheck on a pair of rare Marty McFly sneakers. During an appearance on the WIP Midday Show, Kylie confirmed that Travis was the one who spent big on the iconic Nikes from Back to the Future II. “Travis. It would never be my husband,” Kylie said, referring to the extravagant purchase. The sneakers, inspired by Michael J. Fox’s character, are known for their futuristic self-lacing feature, which fascinated Travis from a young age.
The sneakers, officially known as Nike Air MAGs, were released in limited quantities, and their futuristic design made them a coveted item among sneaker enthusiasts. Travis Kelce’s purchase was initially met with playful teasing from his brother, Jason Kelce, but the sneakers have since become a valuable collector’s item, now worth around $35,000, a significant increase from their original $10,000 price tag.
The Story Behind the Sneakers
Travis Kelce’s fascination with the Marty McFly sneakers dates back to his childhood.
He revealed on his podcast, New Heights, that watching Back to the Future repeatedly had left a lasting impression.
“As soon as I got my check, I immediately went online and sourced them,” Travis said.
His nostalgia and admiration for the shoes drove him to make the splurge, which he admitted was not cheap but worth every penny for the memorable purchase.
Kylie Kelce’s Take on the Purchase
Kylie Kelce shared her amusement at the purchase and the subsequent teasing Travis faced from Jason.
“Although the shoes were so cool, Jason teasing Travis over the price was warranted,” she said with a smile.
Kylie’s insights shed light on the humorous side of the Kelce brothers’ relationship and the significance of this unique purchase in Travis’s life.
