Bengals' Dre Kirkpatrick dreaming up flashy closet for his 700 pairs of shoes

CINCINNATI -- In the past few months, Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick signed a five-year, $52 million contract, moved into a new house, and launched a record label.

So what's next?

Kirkpatrick figures he might splurge a bit on some new features in his house, including a giant closet to hold all of his shoes.

Collecting shoes is one of Kirkpatrick's favorite things. He estimates he's amassed 700 or 800 pairs over the years.

"You know I love shoes, so I'm making a cool shoe room," Kirkpatrick said.

The room will have to be big enough to hold all of those shoes, so Kirkpatrick is turning one of the larger rooms in the house into a closet.
