“ Nah you are lying. I gave it to my driver.” KSI further added and told the real reason. The Red October is an exclusive version of sneakers from Nike’s Air Yeezy 2 lineup. But what made it costlier was that it was a special version of Air Yeezy 2s in a striking red color which was also hyped.

Why did KSI give up on his $49k Red October?

When questioned about the reason KSI gave it to his driver, KSI said a funny thing. He said, “Bro I don’t have enough space in my Wardrobe”. Which comes as a surprise for a celebrity like KSI. He also has an unreal collection of luxury items including the $400K Beerus chain and also owns several luxury cars including a Lamborghini. But his shoe collection is somewhat on a different level. Recently in April 2022, he signed a deal with Adidas to make a special pair of KSI trainer shoes with Adidas. It was a limited edition shoe, and interestingly it outsold several other lines of Adidas. The boxer also often posts about shoes and sneakers on his own Youtube channel.
