A man managed to steal 800 pairs of shoes from the Nike Factory Store in Portland to fund his drug habit, according to a report.

According to KOIN-6, Kevin Torain Millage admitted to stealing the shoes, worth a combined $5,000 and sold them on the streets. He told detectives that he had stolen more than 800 pairs of shoes from the store, located in Northeast Portland.

Police were able to identify Millage after reviewing the store's in-house surveillance footage. Millage possessed three bags of heroin when he was arrested.

The report said that according to court documents, Millage was involved in the following thefts:

March 27 - Shoes valued at $349.97 stolen

April 3 - Shoes valued at $1,200 stolen

April 4 - Shoes valued at $1,500 stolen

May 6 - Shoes valued at $2,425 stolen

How Millage was able to steal so many pairs of shoes on multiple occasions remains a mystery.

The report said Millage appeared in court on Thursday and was charged with five counts of theft and one count each of criminal conspiracy to commit theft and unlawful possession of heroin. He remains in custody.

According to KOIN, Millage's first conviction came when he was 13 years old. He has a criminal record that includes 23 felony, 22 misdemeanor and 21 probation violations. Most of his convictions are drug-related offenses.
