A man in Memphis may have taken Nike's "Just Do It" slogan a bit too far.
Charles Jennings is accused of stealing 7,500 pairs of LeBron 12 Nike shoes. Jennings, an employee of cargo transportation company Intermodal Cartage Group, allegedly used his ID card to gain entry into a secure lot and steal the valuable shoes, according to ESPN.
The retail value of the stolen shoes is approximately $1.5 million.
While the company filed a report on the missing truck and authorities were tracking down its whereabouts, Jennings was allegedly selling the shoes. When Jennings was arrested and the stolen shoes were located, there were approximately 700 pairs of shoes missing.
Authorities claim Jennings admitted to stealing the truck in a recorded conversation.
Jennings is out of jail on $75,000 bond. His next court date will be in early 2015.
