The New England Patriots legend, in his most recent post on Instagram, shared glimpses of him playing hoops with his son Jack in New York City after getting honored in Sunday’s opening game with the Patriots. The video clearly showed how Brady will soon get surpassed by his son in athleticism. However, amidst all this, what really ended up taking all the spotlight was the 7x Super Bowl champion’s expensive shoes.

It’s just not Brady’s court style that’s making headlines. His choice of footwear, the Nike Air Force 1 LV8, is adding to the intrigue. The Nike sneakers have suede details and synthetic leather on the upper. Back when these sneakers were launched, they redefined basketball shoes.
The Nike Air Force 1 LV8 sneaker has had a lasting influence spanning over decades. Nike did release a new update on the model back in early 2023. The shoe’s retail cost comes to around $130 and isn’t available at a regular Nike Store. Given its popularity, it’s no surprise that the Nike website has sold out its stock. However, if one wants to get their hands on these cool sneakers, they can check it out at Finish Line’s website.

After looking at the video, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that Tom surely would have given some NBA players a run for their money. Stephen Curry better watch out, because that much accuracy for a non-regular 46-year-old player is just scary. Coming back to the NFL, innumerable fans are also hopeful that the New York Jets may call Tom Brady to help them out.
This happened after New York’s QB1 Aaron Rodgers reportedly broke his Achilles in what could prove to be a season-ending injury. Well, fans would love to see Tom back resuming his QB1 duties, but the GOAT has already confirmed on a number of occasions that an NFL return is not on the cards. Perhaps an NBA debut is in sight for Terrific Tom!
