Teacher gives a lucky student his first pair of Air Jordans.

Justin has never owned a pair of @Jumpman23 sneakers, but that all changed today inside GHS’ self-contained classroom thanks to Math teacher Kyree Bethel. #RandomActsOfKindness #jordans #airjordan pic.twitter.com/olfVugcYiq

A generous teacher earned a nod from Jordan Brand after hooking a student up with a free pair of sneakers. The moment, in which math teacher Kyree Bethel at Goldsboro High School in Goldsboro, North Carolina, handed over a pair of Jordan 13s, was captured in the video above.

"It was unreal. It leaves you speechless," Bethel said, describing the moment to the school's newspaper, the GHS Pride.

According to the paper, Bethel has a sizable collection of Air Jordans and played basketball semi-professionally overseas.

After the video was posted online, Jordan Brand's official Twitter account replied with this:

Geared up for greatness.

Michael Jordan has deep ties to North Carolina: He grew up and went to college there, and is an owner of the Charlotte Bobcats.
