Thursday, Jan 6, 2022

At an impressive 6' 7", twelve-year-old Joseph Gamez towers over most adults – let alone the kids in his middle school classroom.

Unsurprisingly, Joseph's mom has struggled to find shoes that fit her son's size 18 feet. She recently reached out for online advice in a desperate attempt to find some "cool" kicks. 

  • "I know you guys probably think this is crazy but I need real help," his mom shared. "I need to get this message to the NBA or NFL... Big Guys, where are u getting the shoes?" 

👟 'Kick'-starter... To her surprise, advice (and shoes!) came flooding in. In the week after his mom made the post, Joseph received 15 pairs of brand-new sneakers from around the country.

  • He even received a hand-delivered pair of custom Air Jordans from former Denver Nuggets basketball player Brad Stricker.
