Last week, Coronado High School (Texas) student Hector Montez surprised his teacher with a pair of the Air Jordan 12 “Taxi.” A Twitter video depicting Montez’s random act of generosity had been shared a plethora times across the Internet. The folks over at Nike were one of many who have seen the heartwarming clip and wanted to repay the student for his big-heartedness. Recently, a fellow classmate posted a video of Montez opening a box sent from the athletic brand. The box contained a fresh pair of the Air Jordan 12 “Gym Red” that released this past July and a note that said: “Your teacher inspired you. You inspired us. Continue to be the change you want to see.”

Take a look at the video below and let us know your thoughts.
