The Cleveland Cavaliers improved to 7-7 on Monday night, beating the Knicks on the road after being down by as much as 23 points. What will happen to the in-game sneakers after the important away win? Dwyane Wade gave his to SNL's Leslie Jones, a moment that was captured on social media.

Wade explains in one of the videos above that Jones had previously asked him for a pair of sneakers, so the Li-Ning Way of Wade 6s he gifted were a makeup.
Late on Monday night, Jones wrote on Twitter that she in turn gave one of Wade's sneakers away and kept one for herself.
