This past September, a student named Hector Montez of Coronado High School in Lubbock, Texas surprised his teacher with a pair of the Air Jordan 12 “Taxi.” A few days later, Nike sent the young man a pair of twelves in a “Gym Red” colorway to repay Montez’s heartwarming gesture. Apparently, the student’s good karma keeps on flowing. Recently, DJ Khaled invited Montez to a personal shopping experience at his exclusive Champs Sports store in Miami, Florida. Not to mention, the renowned producer signed a deep black pair of the Nike Air Flight Huarache Low, which he gave to the generous scholar. The viral star also had the opportunity to meet Antonio Brown, wide receiver of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Watch the major key surprise below and let us know your thoughts.

Blessed! I got the keys to @djkhaled private @champssports store AND hung out with @ab!
