""That was their philosophy, is being barefoot and kind of getting back to your original ways of movement," Hollins said. "That grew into me training barefoot all the time for about two years, three years. And then probably in the last two or three years I kind of went to the, 'What's the point?' One less thing to pack, now the bag's under 50 pounds. Like, I'm saving money. It really comes all together.""
"The Patriots wideout was on brand with his pregame attire ahead of Sunday's showdown against the Buffalo Bills, walking into a snowy Gillette Stadium barefoot and with no shirt on. The 32-year-old receiver is no stranger to shedding his shoes in any situation - well, except for when he laces up his cleats out on the gridiron. Back in March, Hollins explained that he decided to go barefoot as often as he can after meeting with trainers from Melbourne, Australia years ago."
Mack Hollins walked into a snowy Gillette Stadium barefoot and shirtless before the Buffalo Bills game. The 32-year-old receiver frequently goes barefoot and trained that way after meeting Melbourne trainers who promoted returning to natural movement. He trained barefoot for two to three years and continued the habit for convenience, lighter packing and cost savings. He lived in Florida during the offseason and played for the Bills in 2024. He once dressed as Animal from The Muppets, barefoot, before the 2024 AFC Championship. He generally wears shoes when temperatures fall below 35 degrees and keeps the motto, "I'm barefoot, but I'm not a dummy." Temperatures dipped under 30 with snow ahead of kickoff.
