DJ Khaled’s admiration for his fans knows no bounds, and he recently showcased his devotion by gifting a brand new pair of J. Balvin SP Air Jordan 3’s to a fortunate supporter.
Khaled learned about a fan who had been camping outside his Snipes sneaker store in Miami since 4 a.m. as a testament to his dedication. The We The Best Mogul was so impressed by this commitment that he generously covered the $250 cost of the “Medellín Sunset” sneakers that the fan intended to purchase.
After another heartfelt hug, the lucky fan ventured inside the store while Khaled braved the excitement, signing sneakers, and taking selfies with the throngs of fans crowding Collins Avenue.
“Thank you, Khaled, that was so genuine. I appreciate it. I’m going to support your store forever. I love you, man. Blessing the kids, thank you,” the fan expressed before leaving Snipes.
The cream-colored Jordan 3’s are infused with the essence of the Colombian sunset, and the J. Balvin-designed sneakers sold out within minutes of their release last month. Although they were initially priced at $250, the resale market is demanding well over $400.

On the musical front, DJ Khaled is gearing up for his “Till Next Time” project, set to debut in early 2024. Always the astute marketer, Khaled used the opportunity to escort Drake onto the stage during one of his recent Miami concerts to promote his forthcoming album, which will feature two songs with the 6 God.
“I have 2 Drake songs on my new album — coming 2024,” proclaimed his sign.
Drake and DJ Khaled share a rich collaborative history, with hits like 2011’s “I’m On One,” 2013’s “No New Friends,” 2016’s “For Free,” and 2022’s “Staying Alive” to their credit.
