It's gotta be the shoes: Ky. cops find $3M worth of Nikes

RADCLIFF, Ky. - Why were $3 million worth of missing Nike shoes scattered outside a central Kentucky home?

Police are trying to figure that out, too.

Media outlets report that officers with the Radcliff Police Department confiscated thousands of pairs of Nikes from several women. According to a search warrant filed last week, the footwear long associated with the advertising slogan "it's gotta be the shoes," was supposed to be shipped in 2009 from a Nike distribution center in Tennessee, to another one in Texas.

These Nikes never made it.

The women who were in possession of the shoes - did we mention we're talking thousands of pairs? - said they had purchased them from someone else and didn't know they were stolen. They said they were selling them at a flea market.

No arrests have been made.
