A child who uses the social network TikTok to post content of his daily routine will receive an authentic pair of  Jordan Air 1 Retros from the Colombian singer, J Balvin.

The child proudly boasted on his account about his mother's gift: a replica of the Jordan Air 1 Retro released by Balvin. However, several users mocked him when they noticed the footwear was not original.

"I don't mind that my sneakers are 'pirate' for those who told me so in my previous video, but I really like them because it was a Christmas gift from my mom. So, they won't hurt me," responded user @XXXBrunocion.

This message reached Balvin's eyes, who, through his official TikTok profile, sent an emotional greeting to the little boy, a message that ultimately caught the attention of millions of users.

"Your sneakers are coming," says the singer, suggesting the child’s comments touched him to the extent that he will give him an original Jordan pair.

I hope there are "more people like you," added Balvin, who considered the child as a person grateful to his family.

The video has more than 3.3 million "likes" and more than 30, 500 comments highlighting the artist's gesture.

On the other hand, TikTok's account @XXXBrunocion was deleted, supposedly due to the large number of negative comments he received for the videos where he showed his shoes, reports Infobae.

On January 22, it was revealed that Balvin became the artist with the highest number of videos with more than 1 billion plays on YouTube. In total, 11 of his solo or joint music videos have reached this figure, which no other artist has achieved, according to Universal Music Latin Entertainment.
