The always charitable J.J. Watt has decided to gift his latest Reebok sneaker to soldiers stationed in the Middle East. The Texans defensive end had a back and forth with a soldier stationed in Afghanistan on Thursday night that ended in him deciding to ship sneakers there.

It began with a tweet from Watt promoting a new colorway of his Reebok JJ 2 signature sneaker. From there, the soldier asked about shipping to Afghanistan.

In the end, Watt decided to ship pairs for the whole unit.

Watt has used sneakers for charity efforts in the past, raising money for hurricane relief efforts via custom Texans Yeezy Boosts.
