Viral TikToker and food critic Keith Lee is known for his generosity and for giving back any chance he gets.
The Las Vegas resident recently donated tons of gently used and brand-new sneakers to local store, Bring It Back, to help with a shoe drive that benefits kids in the area for back-to-school season.

Known for donating and helping out wherever he can, it's no surprise that Lee is helping out a business in his own community. And true Lee fans know that he is a big sneakerhead and has tons of shoes, so he's giving back by donating shoes to a local shoe drive.
Bring It Back, located at 1512 S. Main Street in Las Vegas, is a popular stop for anyone who loves shoes and sneaker culture. They started their sneaker drive on August 4 and Lee came through big-time to help out.
"It's time for our Bring It Back annual back-to-school drive. This year, we're doing a shoe drive," a video shared on Bring It Back's Instagram page. "It's going to be a week long so it ends on Sunday, Aug. 11."
Lee, who is an avid shopper of the store, heard the call and jumped in to help.
Keith Lee Wanted To Be 'Part Of It'
In a video shared by Lee on TikTok and Bring It Back on Instagram, Lee shares a peek into his "secret room" filled with shoes.
"Let's go see what we can give the kids for the back-to-school season. God is amazing," he said as he walked into the shoe-filled room. "But all of these are size 9 to 9 1/2, I think I got some 10s in there too, cause my feet have grown over the years."
He then showed some of the shoes he was planning to donate to the shoe drive. Any sneakerhead watching him flash each pair of shoes knows just how much he loves them.

Lee explained in his video that he's been going to the store for "six or seven years" and remembers standing in long lines. He warned anyone who planned to go there for the shoe drive that there might be a line, and it might be a little crazy, but the shoes he's donating will be there.
"We gonna make some happy kids tomorrow," he said in the video shared on Friday. He then showed some more of the shoes that he was donating.
Lee also gave a glimpse of some of the shoes he purchased for himself recently.
"I vividly remember being a kid at school that didn't have the shoes that they wanted," he shared. "So if I'm blessed enough to change that for one kid or two kids, or maybe three kids, I'm thankful."

There's still time to donate or to claim a pair of shoes during Bring It Back's annual drive. They have three drop-off locations for anyone who wants to help out by donating a pair of shoes: their Main Street location, North Premium Outlet, and Galleria Mall in Las Vegas.
You can donate as many pairs as you like, and every pair donated gets a raffle ticket for a chance to win $500 in store credit. Every pair donated also receives $10 in store credit, up to three pairs.
Keith Lee Is A Shoe Lover!
Lee has made it no secret that he's a sneakerhead. He's shared glimpses into his sneaker room on TikTok in the past. In addition to filming a few "Keith Speaks" videos in front of his shoe collection, he also shared a video of his sneaker wall makeover back in November of last year.
"I officially reached a new record. Two weeks without buying a single sneaker," he said before showing his current sneaker wall.
Lee's sneaker wall video received more than 7 million views.
Rosie O'Donnell left a comment for Lee, "I think ur the real deal," and many other viewers left comments, too.
"The excitement in his voice when he says 'I got those' and 'I got these' only sneakerheads know," one fan wrote. Another shared, "I feel like I'm on FaceTime with my friend showing me what they got for Christmas."
