SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A South Florida athlete and a large retailer teamed up for a very special shopping spree in Kendall.

Dick’s Sporting Goods partnered with Miami Hurricanes alum and Los Angeles Rams safety Kam Kinchens to host Wednesday morning’s event for 10 local children from the YMCA.

Each child received $150 to pick out new clothes and shoes of their choosing.

Kinchens said it was special to give back to his hometown.

“Everybody gravitates towards shoes, you know, it helps you personalize yourself, it helps you have something to look different,” said Kinchens. “Down in Miami, we have a lot of uniform schools, so sneakers is the thing that sets you apart from the next person.”

The kids also received a frisbee and water bottle from Dick’s Sporting Goods.
