When Tristan asked Angel if he owned a pair himself, he responded 'No I got four kids. I can’t shop for myself'. In response, Tristan dug deep and bought Angel his very own pair of AJ8s in, what appears to be, the '' colourway.
As is obvious in the video above, posted to , Angel was blown away by the kind act. 'Just to be able to know that he would be able to bless me with what he did was just amazing. It truly touched my heart,' Angel told .
It can be hard to believe the sincerity in such generous acts when they are publicly shared through social media, but according to Tristan, the video wasn't recorded for the sake of sharing at all. 'Actually, we weren’t going to even videotape but my mom was like, 'I want to see his reaction!'
Enjoy your new shoes Angel!
