The Brit has been walking the talk on the paddock for quite some time now. However, Hamilton’s favorite part of his bold outfits is his shoes. Back in 2015, Hamilton sat down for an interview with a Formula 1 journalist to answer various questions about his fashion.

This was when Hamilton revealed what is his “Fashion soft spot.” He said, “Ha, I would say shoes. I am no chick, but I have a lot of shoes – almost any kind of shoes.”

Not just a lot, the Mercedes man has been a show fanatic to the extent that he was running out of room in his apartment. Moreover, he revealed there were some shoes he hadn’t worn once. “I have no more space in my apartment! Yes, there are trainers that have not been touched, but that is the exception, not the rule. I also love to go to fashion shows,” he added.

Let’s hope the seven-time world champion has gotten around to wearing his untouched trainers. This surely makes one wonder how massive would be Hamilton’s shoe collection, especially seven years after the interview.

Coming to fashion shows, we already know that the Brit loves attending such events.
