When he saw the Nike box, he was left stunned and stated:

"King of Twitch. 'Put 'em on!' Bro, what do you... they got this... Bro, it's too hard! This s**t's too hard! What size are these motherf**kers? 8.5, they're my size. What the... how much h**s can I get (from) this, though? Let me see."

Fans react to Twitch gifting Kai Cenat a pair of custom Nike Air Force 1

Twitch's gift to Kai Cenat was a hot topic of conversation on Twitter, with several community members weighing in on the streamer's clip. Here's what they had to say:

Meanwhile, on the r/LivestreamFail subreddit, Redditor u/Gorillaz2189's take attracted numerous upvotes, in which they stated that even though the shoe was a "terrible gift," they did not agree with the "racist" comments.

They compared the situation to Chance "Sodapoppin," who supposedly received a "trucker hat and a coffee mug" from Twitch:

"It's a terrible gift but I don't get how it's racist. Kai has a shoe collection, at the very least. I thought everyone wore shoes. Soda(poppin) got a trucker hat and a coffee mug from Twitch. At least they put effort into the shoes even if it looks like dog s**t."
