Popovich, Spurs Donate Shoes That Fit

Aaran, a kindergartener at Hirsch Elementary, stomped and jumped her way to Spurs coach Gregg Popovich while wearing her new blue shoes.

She was one of 200 students at the school to receive new sneakers through a donation by the Spurs and Popovich to the non-profit Shoes That Fit. Aaran looked up at Popovich and had a question for him. Her shoes light up, but why don’t his?

“I had a hard time explaining that my shoes aren’t as equipped as hers,” Popovich said. “It was fun to watch them all laugh and have a good time.
