Answer: Shoes.
Need an explanation? Yeah we do, too. Here's one from Brett Pollakoff, via an interview he did with Larkin at Sporting News:
He's not done. He has retros. He has favorites.
The only difference between Shane and Carrie, of course, is that Shane makes millions of dollars a year while Carrie was just a weekly columnist for an NYC tabloid.
Can we talk about that, actually? How the heck was she able to afford all those Dolce Gabbanas and Jimmy Choos on a weekly columnist's salary? The show kind of hints to the ridiculous salary she was making. (Vogue offered her $2 a word for a column once. Do you realize how much money that is? That would be like someone paying me $400 for this awful blog post comparing the Nets' backup point guard to Sex and the City.)
OK, this isn't about basketball anymore. Let's end this before you break up with me on a Post-it.

How big is your sneaker collection?
A: I mean, I’ve got a pretty good sneaker collection. I don’t know the exact number I have, but it’s definitely up there.
Q: Are we talking multiple closets? What are we looking at?
A: Oh yeah, definitely multiple closets. I have all the closets in my house right now filled with sneakers in them, and I still have sneakers left at my parents’ house, so. I definitely have a lot of sneakers, man.
Q: What are some of the crazier ones that you’ve actually worn on the court?
A: Probably the craziest ones I wore was my freshman year in Miami, I wore the KD Weatherman. Those are a pretty nice pair. The volt 10 LeBrons I wore in the (2013) ACC championship game (below). Those are another nice pair, and those are probably two of my favorite pairs that I wore.
Q: What about retros? You ever wear retros on the court?
A: I don’t really play in Js. I have a lot of Js, I have probably over 50 boxes I haven’t opened yet. But I don’t really play in any of my Jordans. Just wear 'em around casually.
Q: What are some of your favorite Jordan retros?
A: My favorite color’s red, so all the Breds, each number. He Got Game 13s, I really like those. Space Jams; there’s really too many to name. I like all the black and red ones for the most part.
