Plot summary
In the 1970s, B-boys carried sneakers out of New York City's playgrounds, and the shoe changed from athletic equipment into a hip-hop emblem and a collector's obsession. The documentary follows that shift and the people behind it, from self-described sneakerheads to the figures who shaped the fashion. It covers the Nike Air Force One, which New Yorkers call the Uptown, and the arrival of the Air Jordan line. It also recounts how DJ Run, Jam Master Jay and DMC turned the Adidas Superstar into a must-have through their song My Adidas. Testimonies and behind-the-scenes stories trace the culture around a global market.
