"Sneakerheadz" Documentary Examines Bright and Dark Sides of Sneaker Culture
It started as a subculture, but has since become full-blown mainstream. Find out what it means to be a true sneakerhead. Directed by David T. Friendly (co-producer of the Oscar nominated film Little Miss Sunshine), the documentary Sneakerheadz takes a look at the obsessive culture behind sneaker collecting.
Hear from Wale, Mike Epps, Samantha Ronson, Futura,well-known collectors like Frank the Butcher and designers including Jeff Staple about sneaker culture and why owning 100 pairs is never enough. The documentary also takes a look at recent violence around the release of limited editions, the psychology behind collecting and, on the happier side, how designing sneakers has put smiles on the faces of children struggling with serious and terminal diseases.
