What are those? Why those were a fresh pair of “Taxi” Air Jordan 12s. Yup, in the feel good story of the year, high school senior Hector Montez gave his favorite teacher the sneakers his coach/educator had wanted since way back in sixth grade. The good deed and sign of appreciation for Coach Walser’s impact on Hector — soon to be the first of his family to attend college — was gift giving way before the holiday season but embodying that spirit all the same.
The awesome action of Hector was spotted by our own Matt Halfhill at Nice Kicks who reached out for an interview as well as Nike who sent him a pair of “Gym Red” Air Jordan 12s with an awesome message in the box. Perhaps the coolest of all is Champs Sports selecting the student to star in a new ad campaign with DJ Khaled and Antonio Brown. Check it out below and at Champs Sports. Props to Hector, Coach Walser and Champs. Giving back and showing appreciation is always cool.
