Remember that clip of the bullied high school student getting gifted a pair of Jordans from a classmate? Following the incident, the former told the story of how it all went down in a heart-warming Instagram post.

The boy who received the sneakers, Taylor Bates, described his emotional response to the gift in the caption of his post.

"I hugged him and I almost cried, and I cannot thank him enough," Taylor writes.

According to a report from KMOV, Taylor had only met Tae Moore, the classmate who gave him the shoes, the day before.
