Before Travis Kelce could buy a stake in a racehorse named after Taylor Swift, he spent his first NFL check on another classic item.
During an appearance on the WIP Midday Show on Wednesday, August 28, Kylie Kelce was asked a trivia question: Who spent their first NFL check on Marty McFly shoes, Travis or her husband, retired NFL star Jason Kelce?
“Travis. That would never be my husband,” Kylie said confidently.
She added, “I’ll tell you something, early on when we were dating, Travis came to town. I think Marty McFly came to Philly with the shoes. I didn’t get a chance to meet Travis that time, but Jason told me after the fact how hard he was To Travis after Travis revealed how much he spent on shoes.”

The sneakers are inspired by the Nikes characters of Michael J. Fox, Marty McFly, which he wore in Back to the Future Part II. In part of the 1989 film, in 2015, shoes were famously tied at the push of a button. Kylie, 31, joked that while the shoes were “so cool”, Jason, 36, teased Travis about the price he paid they were “guaranteed”.
“He deserved a little kick for that,” she said.

This is not the first time that his big purchase has been revealed. Travis, who joined the NFL after being drafted by the Chiefs in 2013, opened up about buying the luxury sneakers on his and Jason’s episode New heights podcast last May.
“I had my eye on a pair of size 13 Nike Air MAG ‘Marty McFlys’ — the coolest shoes I’ve ever seen in my life,” Travis, 34, recalled. “As soon as I got the check, I immediately went online and found them.”
He shared that he “always wanted those shoes,” adding that they were also nostalgic for him.
