The crowd went wild. The sneakers were purple Nike LeBron 17s. LeBron James took off its insoles and handed the shoes over to a beaming boy. People cheered him on. The boy put them on his chest and didn’t let go. Similar instances have occurred at various junctures where he gifts his sneakers to kids.
