The "Game" isn't playing around when it comes to the security of his footwear.
In a new video for complex, the rapper 39, shows off his extensive sneaker collection and the extra safety precautions his taken to keep his shoes safe.
To build the impressive shoe storage in his Calabasas home, he imported raw oak wood from Montana and Colorado, which he says cost him $75 000 alone, to house the irreplaceable sneakers in his collection, many of which were gifted to him by fellow musicians and athletes like Pharrell Williams, Drake, Ray Allen and DJ Khaled to mention a few.

He also explained to the show's host Joe La Puma why he has a special bulletproof case built for his second pair of "Back to the future" themed Nike Air Mags. " My first pair were first edition, the "How we do" hit maker explained " I think they were the seventh ever made, touched by Micheal J Foxx, they were a $60 000 shoe, well I had those and I didn't protect them.
He continued " Well when I was building this house I had cameras secured all over the house, but the security was not installed yet so someone broke in and took a Louis Vuitton backpack and a Gucci duffel and walked into my closet and saw the box of the Air Mags and dropped both the Louis Vuitton backpack and Gucci duffel and took the box with the sneakers and walked out the door, and we have not seem them since.
The theft inspired the musician to not only reinvest in a new pair of Air Mags, but also but to also make sure that never happens to him again. "We got reinforced steal outside the doors as you saw before we walked in, "this right here," he says as he gesturing to the containing the coveted sneakers, " Is a two inch bulletproof glass case, You can shoot an Iranian AK-47 and you're not breaking through this.

He continued, "Behind this box, it is secured all the way around by two steal chain rods chained to the connecting room, if you pull this you'll have to take out the entire other room. These are not moving".
