DJ Khaled loves his fans and blessed one lucky individual with a new pair of the new J. Balvin SP Air Jordan 3’s.
Khaled heard about one fan camping outside his Snipes sneaker store in Miami since 4 a.m. and he respected his dedication to the point that the We The Best Mogul picked up the tab on his $250 “Medellín Sunset” sneaker purchase.

“I wanna do it,” Khaled emphatically stated after the fan initially was reluctant to take the cash for the kicks. “It’s okay to take a gift. I know you got money. I wanna do it. He been out here since four in the morning, that’s what we do!”
They shared another hug before the lucky fan headed inside while Khaled braved the pandemonium to sign sneakers and take selfies with fans filling Collins Avenue.

“Thank you Khaled that was so real. I appreciate it, I’m gonna support your store forever. I love you, man. Blessing the kids, thank you,” the fan said before walking out of Snipes.

The cream-colored Jordan 3s are splashed with the flavor of the Colombian sunset and the J. Balvin-designed kicks sold out within minutes of their release last month. While they retailed for $250, the re-sale markets are charging well over $400.
On the music side, DJ Khaled is readying his Till Next Time project, which is slated to arrive in early 2024.
Khaled is a mastermind marketer and used the opportunity to escort Drake to the stage at one of his Miami concerts last month to promote that he has two songs with the 6 God on his new album.
“I have 2 Drake songs on my new album — coming 2024,” his sign read.

“When you come out with the 6 God, you gotta go hard,” Khaled said in a video he posted on Instagram showing Drake laughing beside him. “You can’t just come out. We ain’t playing with this!”
Drake and DJ Khaled have a rich collaborative history connecting on a slew of hits in the past, including 2011’s “I’m On One,” 2013’s “No New Friends,” 2016’s “For Free,” and 2022’s “Staying Alive.”
