Former AEW World Champion MJF shared a touching story about Brodie Lee in anticipation of Reebok’s “Exalted One” sneaker release. The collaboration features a new pair of Reebok Classic sneakers inspired by Brodie Lee, which will be exclusively available from Champs Sports on July 1. MJF took the opportunity to promote these new sneakers by reflecting on his time with Brodie Lee, sharing heartfelt memories that highlighted the late wrestler’s impact both inside and outside the ring.
MJF’s tribute to Brodie Lee is a poignant reminder of the camaraderie and respect that exists among wrestlers. His story emphasized Lee’s kindness, mentorship, and the lasting impression he left on those he worked with. By sharing these personal anecdotes, MJF not only honors Brodie Lee’s legacy but also helps fans connect more deeply with the story behind the “Exalted One” sneakers.
The Reebok “Exalted One” sneakers are more than just a tribute; they symbolize the lasting legacy of Brodie Lee and his influence on the wrestling community. MJF’s promotion of the sneakers, intertwined with his personal reflections, adds a layer of authenticity and emotion to the launch. Fans eagerly anticipating the release on July 1 will not only be purchasing a stylish pair of sneakers but also a piece of wrestling history that celebrates the life and legacy of Brodie Lee.
“An opportunity to talk about Brodie Lee here is an opportunity that I welcome,” MJF said, acknowledging that he isn’t usually a sneaker enthusiast. “For the period of time that I did work with him, he was a massive human being, and I don’t mean that in size, I mean that in heart and soul and spirit. When he walked into a room, you noticed him, and he was just a genuinely down-to-earth, dare I say salt of the Earth person.”
MJF shared a poignant experience involving a medium he visited following the passing of his grandfather, which occurred around the same time as Lee’s death. Although skeptical, MJF felt uplifted by the medium’s insights. During the session, the medium mentioned a larger presence wanting MJF to convey a message to his wife.
“The medium says, ‘He says his wife is Amanda,’ Amanda Huber … I’m not gonna say what the message is, that’s between them. But, you know, I was obviously pretty spooked, and I walk up to Amanda at TV the next week and I tell her this insane story. And her eyes start welling up because she was searching for this and she had got her answer that day … So even in the afterlife, Brodie really loved and cared about his wife and kids.”
This heartfelt story highlights the profound impact Brodie Lee had on those around him, both in life and beyond, as celebrated through the upcoming Reebok sneaker release.
