Kenny Robert celebrated his 27th birthday this week with an unexpected surprise: his friend, the Cuban influencer Samantha Hernández, gifted him a pair of iridescent sneakers from the brand Balenciaga in shades of blue, purple, and metallic pink, which are priced at a few hundred dollars.
The gifted model corresponds to the Balenciaga Runner Sneaker with an iridescent finish, one of the most recognizable lines from the French luxury brand, featuring a chunky sole and a combination of synthetic materials with a metallic effect.
The reaction of the content creator, known for her character "Jessica," was captured in her Instagram stories with her signature blend of humor and genuine affection.
«Look at the gift that Samantha gave me. Oh my, I died. She knows my tastes. Oh my God I can’t have poor friends. Oh Samantha, I love you, I died of love», exclaimed Kenny Robert as he showed the present, just taken out of its box.
The phrase "I can't have poor friends," said in a playful and affectionate tone, immediately captured the attention of her community, which recognized her personal brand as an influencer: exaggerated humor and genuine gratitude wrapped in comedy.
Samantha Hernández, for her part, also posted a story on Instagram featuring a collage of photos with Kenny and a warm message.
"I love you so much, thank you for your friendship, thank you for being you. May God and all the saints grant you good health and more years of life to fulfill each of your dreams. There are not enough words to express how much I love you, here's to many more years together," wrote the influencer.
Kenny Robert and Samantha Hernández are two of the most popular Cuban content creators in Miami's digital ecosystem. They have both publicly documented their rise since emigrating from Cuba and have collaborated on projects such as the music video for "Baby I Love You" by Dany Ome and Kevincito El 13. However, beyond their work together, it is their strong friendship and partnership that users on social media value the most.
