Staff Picks: Sneakerheadz
David T. Friendly and Mick Partridge's documentary examines art and OCD inside the secret culture of sneaker collecting.
What would you do for a pair of shoes? In Sneakerheadz, we watch kids hide in trash cans to score a pair of Retro Jordan 11s. We watch people camp out in subzero temperatures for the latest Nike Foamposites. Sneakers aren’t just apparel anymore. They’re art. And for sneakerheads, they’re an obsession.
Sneakerheadz explores the influence of sneaker collecting from California to the congested streets of Tokyo, giving viewers a window into the soul of a subculture, and the spread of wearable art. Cop the film on BitTorrent Bundle.
