The (somehow) 50-year-old quickly changes into his first outfit for the shoot—a blue Champion hoodie and gray shorts—again, a departure from the suit we’ve grown accustomed to him flexing.

“When you dress up like I do for a living all the time, five days a week, two-and-a-half hours a day, that’s the last thing you want to wear,” he says.

The former NFLer reveals that his wardrobe consists of 75 suits, 40 jackets, and 30 pairs of slacks, all of which are stored in a bedroom (there are too many to fit in a closet!). And that’s the tally after he recently gave 30 suits to his uncle, a minister. An on-brand move for Sharpe since back in March he gifted his brother Sterling $300,000 for essentially being a great older sibling.



As for Shannon’s 800-pair sneaker collection? The insane volume is better attributed to want than necessity. “I’ve got shoe boxes stacked almost to the ceiling,” he says of his Atlanta home.

The Sneaker Shopping alum is so obsessed with copping the latest heat that he refuses to open the Nike SNKRS app until the weekend. He knows he’ll go too ham.
