Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema is best known for his relentless prowess on the pitch — or canoodling with Rihanna, depending on who you ask — but from the looks of things, he's also a serious sneakerhead.

Benzema has been spotted in sneakers before, but we had no idea his collection was this deep. There's a ton of gems in his stash including retro Jordans, Nikes, and Converse, as well as a number of high-end and performance models. Of all the dopeness pictured here, we'd have to single out the "Quai 54" Jordan XIII Lows as one of the very best.

Can Benzema's collection can compete with U.S. athletes like Ray Allen and Andre Iguodala, or do you need to see more before you're convinced? Either way, the Real Madrid standout has been quietly killing it, so we have to give props where they're due.
