Jason Sudeikis has some killer kicks! The actor owns an impressive sneaker collection.
The 47-year-old Horrible Bosses star revealed in a Wednesday, May 17, interview with The New York Times that he owns around 250 pairs of sneakers. Sudeikis explained that his love of grails runs so deep that he even sports his collection on his hit Apple TV+ show, Ted Lasso.
Fans may recall that Hall Pass actor’s titular character has a thing for Nikes, sporting different silhouettes from the sportswear giant each episode. Nike famously created AFC Richmond’s official gear. “It’s something that we were intentional about from the get-go before we thought anyone would notice,” Sudeikis told The Times, adding, however, that it drives costume designer Jack Levy “a little crazy.”
“Jack is incredibly intentional about that,” Sudeikis said in the interview. “Certainly with Rebecca’s wardrobe, Keeley’s wardrobe, everybody’s. It’s not always sneakers, either — Ted wearing an orange sweatshirt in the Amsterdam episode was intentional because the national color for the Netherlands is orange.”

As for Sudeikis, his obsession with sneakers sparked when he was in middle school. The actor’s first pair were Air Jordans — and he still favors the brand today. “They’re pretty beat up at this point, but my Jordan 1s, low, they’re Carolina Blue,” the Mother’s Day star said of his favorite footwear. (The sneakers feature a white and blue colorway — a nod to Michael Jordan’s alma matter, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.)
He continued: “I wear them a couple times throughout the show. I genuinely love those shoes.”
