Nothing more special than a father’s gift, DJ Khaled shows his love for his son when he gave a pair of custom Air Jordans sneaker for his 7th birthday
When it comes to celebrating his children, DJ Khaled never settles for the ordinary. Asahd’s seventh birthday was no exception, as the proud father went above and beyond to ensure it was truly special. The highlight of the day? A pair of one-of-a-kind, custom Air Jordans.
In a heartwarming moment, DJ Khaled unveiled the carefully curated gift package, a personal present from none other than the legendary Michael Jordan and Reggie Saunders of Jordan Brand. The video captured Asahd’s excitement as he opened the gift, revealing the exquisite satin Jordans emblazoned with his name. It was a touching moment, showcasing Khaled’s unwavering love for his son.
Khaled took to social media to express his love and gratitude: “HAPPY B DAY MY SON @asahdkhaled! I love you so much me and mommy are so proud of you. My son was born on OCT 23, but we’re celebrating a day early and, truth be told, we celebrate every day – because every day is your birthday, @asahdkhaled! THANK YOU GOD! Thank you @realpdxreg @jumpman23.”
In the accompanying video clip, Khaled can be heard saying, “These are very exclusive. I talked to Michael Jordan and I talked to uncle Reg, and they made it happen. You ready? Happy birthday… The satin with your name on it. The satin pair of Jay’s are the 1’s. Look at this.”
The generosity didn’t end with the custom Air Jordans; shortly after, a basketball signed by the basketball icon himself arrived at the Khaled residence.
The celebration continued with a Nintendo Switch-themed birthday party, where Asahd was surrounded by friends and family enjoying activities like basketball and bowling. Warm birthday wishes poured in from celebrities like Busta Rhymes, showing the deep admiration and respect DJ Khaled commands in the industry.
DJ Khaled’s close relationship with Air Jordan was highlighted in his previous collaboration with the brand, creating the immensely popular Salmon-flavored We The Best Air Jordan 5’s. Khaled proudly announced that they became the best-selling Air Jordan collaboration in the brand’s storied history. Complex even found a clip where Reggie Saunders, Jordan’s VP of Entertainment Marketing, confirmed the remarkable success, stating, “This is the largest launch of any collaborator we’ve ever worked with.” DJ Khaled, always one to aim for the stars, celebrated making history with his very first sneaker release.
