FLOYD MAYWEATHER added to his “shoe closet” by reportedly spending more than £8,000 on Nike trainers – despite reportedly being “skint”.
The retired boxer, 43, headed to New York with his pals to pick up some new kicks.
And according to TMZ, he left Flight Club near Union Square Park carrying multiple bags.
It is thought he bought “multiple pairs of rare Nike Air Force 1s” with a combined price thought to be around £8k.
The report adds that there are new TMT clothes on their way and suggested he wanted to be donning some exclusive creps to go with the threads.
Rapper and former pal 50 Cent hit out at Mayweather, claiming the man nicknamed “Money” had run out of – err – money and therefore needed to return to the ring to boost his bank balance.
Mayweather officially walked away from boxing in 2017 after beating UFC star Conor McGregor in a lucrative crossover bout.
But the American great returned just a year later in an exhibition bout against Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa and earned £7million for the two-minute fight.
Mayweather – who topped the Forbes rich list of the decade with a £706MILLION fortune – announced in November that he is “coming out of retirement in 2020” to work with UFC boss Dana White.
But 50 Cent – a close friend turned rival to Mayweather – insists the world’s richest sportsman has somehow blown his cash and needs a comeback fight to recoup his wealth.
The rapper – real name Curtis Jackson – told Hot 97: “I think he got to right now because the money’s gone. It’s fight, get the money, spend the money, fight.
“With the lifestyle that money’s gone. Trust me. Now it’s like if you call him he’ll be at your local nightclub because he needs that action right now.”
Mayweather’s spending habits are notorious.
He has a car collection worth millions that includes FOUR Rolls Royces and two Bugattis – both worth in excess of £1m each.
Money also loves his bling and reportedly spend just under £1m on a diamond encrusted Hublot watch during a shopping trip in Dubai.
In his property portfolio is a £6.2m Miami Beach home on the waterfront, a £1.2m house in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, a £2m condo at the Ritz-Carlton Residences in LA and a 20,000-square-foot “big boy mansion” in Las Vegas — with features that include a 12-person shower, Fendi light fixtures and a movie theatre.
