There’s still some good in this world and some other bad stuff going on at the same time it’s actually cumbersome trying to fathom how both are always in competition with the other.
A good Samaritan using the @Jr_LincolnKE handle on Twitter couldn’t sit down and see social media attacking a Moi University student who was spotted rocking worn off Adidas Classics on social media in a recent event.
Social media can really be brutal sometimes.
Some of the trolls
Well, Jr. Lincoln took to Twitter and offered to give out his sneakers to the student who has since caught the attention of netizens who now wants to help out where they can.
“Get me the guy being trolled because of his shoes, I will give him another set of Addidas Shoes. “ the tweet read in part. ”RETWEET widely.”
The tweet got over 900 retweets in a couple of hours.

Lincoln disclosed that he finally got a hold of him and even arranged how the student will get the free pair of the Samoa Adidas sneakers given out to him.
Jr. Lincoln was grateful to KOT’s efforts to connect him with the young student who has been identified as Kevin.
“Amepatikana na Tumeongea na yeye. Thank you” he shared.
Kevin Sneakers speaks
Kevin spoke out on Twitter revealing that he’s being brought up by a single mom and he’s a second-year University at Moi University.
He confessed that sometimes he usually goes without food, and he’s also a social media marketer, and he’s more than willing to work for his money, not necessarily looking for a handout.
“Hey guys I’m the guy with the funny shoes & I’m in my 2nd year at Moi University – Main Campus; I am brought up by a single Mum. The struggle is real and with the current situation, I only depend on few friends and well-wishers. At times I go without food…” he shared
Adding, “I only use what I have at my disposal.”

Kevin got some assistance from well-wishers and good samaritans who bought him a new fresh pair of shoes the same day everybody was trolling him.
He flaunted them for the whole world to see, clearly ecstatic and all swagged up!.
