The name-brand shoes range in size from 10 to 12.
The 48-year-old Newark man who owned the sneakers received 11 years in prison last month after being convicted of possessing more than a half-pound of cocaine and 100 pills containing the deadly opioid fentanyl.
He’s currently held at a prison in Orient while officials determine where he’ll ultimately serve his sentence.
