The star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, made a memorable purchase with his first NFL paycheck: the now-iconic Marty McFly shoes from 'Back to the Future II'.

AceShowbiz - When Travis Kelce joined the Chiefs in 2013, he splurged on the limited-edition Nike MAG "Marty McFlys," inspired by the shoes worn by Michael J. Fox in the film. Kylie Kelce, the wife of Travis's brother Jason, revealed this anecdote on Philly sports talk radio station 94WIP.

Kylie recalled that Travis's brother Jason scolded him for the purchase, which reportedly cost him $10,000 at the time. However, Kylie acknowledged the allure of the shoes, saying, "They're so cool, but he deserved a little flack for that one."

Sources close to Travis confirmed the purchase, noting that he had "always wanted those shoes" and considered them a nostalgic item from his childhood. Travis also revealed that he purchased a Rolex watch to complement the shoes.

Despite the initial mockery, Travis's investment proved to be a wise one. The shoes, which were initially sold by Nike to raise funds for the Michael J. Fox Foundation, are now valued at around $38,500 on StockX.

This extravagant purchase highlights Travis Kelce's unique personality and his fondness for nostalgia. It also serves as a reminder that even the smallest and seemingly frivolous purchases can sometimes hold significant value or significance for their owners.
