Ed Sheeranjust revealed how he ruined his Air Jordan Bel Air 5s, and sneakerheads everywhere are definitely cringing.During the latest installment ofComplex’sSneaker Shopping series, the 30-year-old singer told host Joe La Puma that he got blood all over the special pair of Jordans when he wore them out to a Nashville bar called Santa’s Pub.“I lived in Nashville for most of 2013. I used to go there almost every night. I went there in [Air Jordan Bel Air 5s] once with my cousin. I had two bottles of beer and I was banging them on the table and they [shattered],” Sheeran said. “I ended up having to get 12 stitches. It hurt, and then I just carried on. But then someone was like, ‘Bro look at your shoes!’ And I looked and they were covered [in blood].“Complex/YouTubeThe Grammy winner went on to share that singerGavin DeGrawdrove him to the hospital after the incident at 3 a.m. then “took me to Jack In the Box.““I’ll never forget that. I’ve still got the shoes. I have to say, I did wear them again,” the “Shape of You” singer said with a smile.Complex/YouTubeIn the clip, Sheeran also talked about working with fellow sneaker loverTravis Scott, saying their time together was “the best session I think I’ve ever had in terms of watching an artist work.” After they recorded “Antisocial” (which appears on Sheeran’s fourth studio albumNo.6 Collaborations Project.), the rapper gifted the singer a pair of Travis Scott x Air Jordan sneakers.“I have to confess, my friend is the biggest Travis Scott fan and knew that I had the shoes. He’s the same size as me. I actually gifted them to him because I knew he would love [them],” Sheeran said. “I love shoes, but I do wear them to death. I feel like if someone’s going to cherish and appreciate something, I would rather give it.“Speaking about his philosophy on collecting sneakers andactuallywearing them instead of letting them sit in a display case, the star explained: “I think if you have a nice bottle of wine, you should drink it. If you have a nice watch, you should wear it. If you have a nice car you should drive it. If you have a nice shoe, you should wear it.”
