Sneakerhead Brooks Koepka Reveals His Most Prized Possession: ‘Only One Place to Wear These’

It is no secret that humans have to believe in each other than material things. However, having possession of even simpler things can lead to one’s happiness sometimes. The American professional golfer, Brooks Koepka, has such a valuable possession to his name in his collection. And the 4-time major champion cherishes it. 

The golfer considers his Louis Vuitton off white Collabs as one of his favorite Nike shoes in his collections. As a matter of fact, he even thinks it is more special than the footwear he wore at his wedding!

How did Brooks Koepka get his favorite Nike shoes? 

“I was laying in bed with Jena at the house. And I was like, I think they were going up for auction at Sotheby’s,” Koepka said in a podcast. He explained how he bought his favorite shoes during an auction with the help of his then-fiance, Jena Sims. 

The golfer revealed in the podcast that he didn’t care what item they had been auctioning at the time. Whatever it was, he wanted to buy it. However, since he had a tournament to attend that day, he put Sims to keep updating him about the auction. 

Koepka explained in the podcast that he was too happy on the day they received the shoes. “It was pretty dope to be able to open that box and see the shoes,” he added. “And not for nothing, but they’re like perfectly like Augusta green.”

Moreover, the 4-time major champion explained that he wore the shoes first time at Augusta National this year. “I figured there’s only one place to wear those things,” he revealed. “The only one place they deserved to touch the ground out,” he added. “And that was at Augusta’s.” 

Koepka’s Masters performance in 2022

The 2022 Masters was a special event for Koepka. He wore his favorite Louis Vuitton Off-white Collabs to the Augusta National for the first time. Although he has won the U.S. Open and the PGA Championship twice, he has never won a Masters title. Therefore, he might have thought the shoes would bring him luck. 

However, Koepka didn’t have such luck. After scoring 75 in the first two rounds, the golfer had to return home without playing in the final two rounds. Notably, he scored an overall 6-over from the first two days of the tournament. 

The Nike shoes did not help him bring a green jacket home. However, he still considers them his favorite of his collection.
