Wide receiver Antonio Brown might play football in Pittsburgh but he lives in Miami in a 12-bedroom mansion that even has a synagogue inside of it (he’s not Jewish, he just has one in the home).

A few weeks ago, Antonio Brown let Complex into his home to tour his closet and check out his private sneaker collection. Earlier this week, Antonio hooked up with Complex again but this time he met Joe La Puma at Miami’s exclusive Kith sneaker shop to go shopping for some new kicks.
