Kentucky men's basketball head coach John Calipari brought out some of his most prized kicks for a guest appearance on "Sneaker Shopping."

Calipari showed off his collection on the latest episode of the Complex series, including a pair of the OVO x Air Jordan 8 "Calipari Pack" sneakers that Drake gifted to him.

"(Drake) did surprise me," Calipari told host Joe La Puma of his reaction to the sneakers. "Then I had to say, 'Brother, where's my pairs? You're putting my name on them.' So eventually they showed up. He came in town and then he and I both signed them. ... There were 80 pairs made - these are two of the 80 that have both signatures."

Calipari also spoke about his past sneaker deals and picked out $1,400 worth of new shoes during the episode.
