Boston Celtics guard Ray Allen was cleaning out his closet the other day and came up with a clever way to dispose of all of his shoes. Allen, who no doubt receives countless pairs of sneakers from Nike, decided to give some of his shoes away to the public via an online scavenger hunt.

Allen decided to hide several pairs of his barely used sneakers all over Boston. He would then post pics and clues of the hidden sneakers on Twitter. The first person to find the Ray Allen sneakers gets to keep them, no strings attached.

Ray Allen talked about his sneaker giveaway on his Twitter account.

“I just finished workin out and realized I have so many shoes that I don’t wear anymore so as I am driving thru Boston I decided I’m gonna Leave a pair of shoes somewhere for whoever to have. When I find a good place I’ll tweet the address. The shoes aren’t signed either. Whoever gets them I’ll sign em after a game this year. At the park across the street from Lincoln school. The shoes are behind the basketball hoop. Chestnut hill mall. Look for the rock by the pond. I’ll be in the Springfield area tonight so I’ll take some shoes with me so if u live in that area be on the lookout.”

Here are some Ray Allen hidden sneaker photos.

This is very nice of the guy. He's basically just giving his shoes away. And lets be honest, I doubt he's even worn half of his collection he gets so many. Good for him. And doing it in a fun way too. I just hope mini-riots don't ensue.
