Kai Cenat was three hours into his 2nd Annual Christmas Gift Opening Stream when he discovered a pair of shoes had been sent to him by Nike. When the Twitch streamer noticed how the brand referred to their association, he remarked:

'Enjoy the new kicks, your Nike fam.' Hold on, fam! Yo, Nike just called me fam, what does that mean? I have a contract? Don't be doing that, bro! Bro, come on, bro! You know, I'll sign to y'all! Nike, come on, bro! First streamer to sign to Nike."

"Why is this s**t, like... these got to be hiking... you've got to hike in these! Like, do these even look right? Bro, I ain't going to lie - nah. Nah, nah! Thank you, gang. Appreciate you. These (are) definitely made for the snow. When I do my stream on the Moon, then yeah."
