Focus World has released the first trailer for a new upcoming movie titled “Kicks”, the film looks at the realities of inner-city life, the concept of manhood and the fetishization of sneaker culture.
A 15-year-old Brandon longs for a pair of fresh Air Jordans, assuming that merely having them on his feet will help him escape the reality of being poor, neglected by the opposite sex and picked on by everyone — even his best friends. Working hard to get them, he soon finds that the titular shoes have instead made him a target after they are promptly snatched by local hood, Flaco.
Seemingly the embodiment of menace, Flaco harbors complexities of his own that will be revealed when Brandon goes on a mission to retrieve his stolen sneakers with his two best friends in tow.
Kicks is expected to hit cinemas on 09 September this year. Well here’s a look at the first trailer:
