Tyler Reddick reveals Michael Jordan perks

In a recent interview on FOX, Reddick discussed all things in his current career, including being a Jordan athlete.

Asked about his history of sneaker collecting given he races for Jordan's team, Reddick revealed: "I like shoes, but I went to the dirt track and lived in a hauler. The hauler was dirty. The track's muddy. That's just no place for Jordans to be, honestly, if you really cared about wearing it more than a month,"

"So I didn't have a grand collection, that's for sure. But we race asphalt everywhere we go now.

"We had that one dirt race, It's been nice to know the only time I have to worry about what I've got on my feet is when I get out of the plane or walk to the rental car in the grass lot. Other than that, I know I can, for the most part, keep my shoes pretty clean."

With that said, Reddick revealed that now he's driving for 23XI, he is able to stockpile Jordan's to his hearts content.

"I always did pay attention to shoes. But it's just been really fun to...probably my favorite brand of shoe was Jordans," he explained. "And now I get to just stockpile them,"

"I've got many choices when it comes to what color I'm going to wear that day with what I have on the car, or what I'm feeling like wearing to the shop, or whatever I've got going on.

"Between the highs and lows, I've got plenty of options for summer and winter."
