Jason Sudeikisis a bona fide sneakerhead.
TheTed Lassostar, 47, owns around 250 pairs of sneakers, he recently toldThe New York Times, and occasionally wears them on his hit show. Several eagle-eyed fans have even noticed his character’s penchant for Nikes.
“[It] drives our costumer, Jacky Levy, a little crazy,” the actor admitted. “Just for continuity purposes,” he added.
Themulti-hyphenate told theTimesthat he became a sneakerhead in middle school in 1986 when he got his first pair of Air Jordans. And while he enjoys rocking his own sneakers on the show, it’s only about 25 percent of the time that he does; his remaining footwear comes from Nike, which created AFC Richmond’s official kits for the series (which areavailable for fans to purchase!).
“Jacky is incredibly intentional about that,” Sudeikis explained about the sneaker and wardrobe selection on the show. “Certainly with Rebecca’s wardrobe, Keeley’s wardrobe, everybody’s,” he added. “It’s not always the sneakers, either — Ted wearing an orange sweatshirt in the Amsterdam episode was intentional because the national color for the Netherlands is orange.”
So, what’s the actor’s favorite pair from his large and esteemed collection?

“They’re pretty beat up at this point, but my Jordan 1s, low, they’re Carolina Blue,” he said. “I wear them a couple times throughout the show. I genuinely love those shoes.”
Fans who genuinely love the show are also wondering if this current third season truly will be the last.
Although the sports-centric show was always intended to be a three-season-long series, there have been conflicting answers from theTed Lassocast and production team regarding next steps.
Sudeikis hasnotably stayed vague aboutTed Lasso’s future, telling reporters afterits consecutive Emmy Award winsin September 2022, “I don’t know, it’s up to more factors than myself.”
However, executive producer and costarBrett Goldstein(who plays Roy Kent in the show)teased in Junewhat fans could expect of the potentialTed Lassoexpansion — even putting forth pitches for what a season 4 could look like, should there be one.
Additionally, several hints have been dropped about character-based spinoffs.
