One man and his shoes.
The phenomenon of Air Jordan sneekers, showing their social, cultural and racial significance and how ground-breaking marketing strategies created a multibillion-dollar business. It is also a tale with a dark side, as Nike's high price tag and marketing strategy has fuelled a demand so great that since, 1989, young people have killed for a pair of shoes. This film is a parable of America's love affair with consumer capitalism and celebrity culture.
Contains some strong language and upsetting scenes.
