Lil' Chano from 79th has done it again!
Chance The Rapper's charitable spirit continues to shine brightly all over his hometown of Chicago … this time, by gifting pop culture's most famous sneaker.
According to Newsweek, Chance gifted every single kid who attended his #OpenMike show a pair of Jordan 11s. And they haven't even been released yet! While it hasn't been confirmed, it looks like the kicks are the "Win Like ’96" Jordans.

The name #OpenMike might seem to refer to Michael Jordan, but the show is actually named after Brother Mike, a Chicago poet who passed away three years ago at the young age of 38. Mike served as a mentor to Chance, and the show, named in his honor, has featured celebrities such as Kanye West and Dave Chappelle.
Chance had hinted at the performance being extra special when he tweeted a flier the day before the event.
