VIDEO: Bullies boy gets trip to FILA headquarters
10-year-old Nyeeam Huston's not-so-little lesson got more than just attention on YouTube, it also turned some heads at sneaker giant FILA.

10 year old Nyeeam Hudson became a viral sensation last week when a group of bullies made fun of his sneakers and he turned the ordeal into a teachable moment.

Now, that not-so-little lesson got more than just attention on YouTube, it also turned some heads at sneaker giant FILA.

The shoe company invited Nyaaem to its headquarters where he got the board room treatment.

FILA said Nyaaem was a perfect example of finding opportunity in darkness, so they wanted to help him open the door.
