UNC defensive end Tomon Fox credited the desire “to be like Mike” for getting him involved in sneaker culture. Fox started his sneaker collection back as a freshman in high school. From there, his collection expanded to more than 40 pairs of sneakers and over 20 pairs of Jordans. Fox also has a pair of shoes that have a resale value that's over $2,500. (Daily Tar Heel)
