Colin Kaepernick gives away his prized shoe collection, other gear to charity

A lot of us use the new year to clean out our closets — but most our used items aren't quite as cool as these.

Colin Kaepernick recently packed up his enormous Nike shoe collection — so large he once boasted about how he had to turn his garage into a separate shoe closet — to donate to charity. Along with his pricy shoes, Kaepernick donated clothes, hats and other athletic gear to several charities around the Bay Area, TMZ reported.

One of the charities that reportedly received Kap's gear is the Dorothy Day House in Berkeley, an organization that provides community breakfasts, emergency shelter and more for homeless and low-income locals.
