Fifteen-year-old Brandon longs for a pair of the freshest sneakers that money can buy, 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 Flaco, a local hood. Brandon goes on a mission to retrieve his stolen sneakers.
1. Jordan Bred 1's 2. Fresh perspective from director Justin Tipping.
3. The first film to my knowledge to incorporate BART as a character.
4. The first film to shine some light on the sneaker culture.
5. The film has characters who feel real to their environment.
6. My favorite character in the film was Flaco, I like flawed people who are more than what they seem on the surface, he had a certain presence that was haunting.
7. I loved the astronaut, once he appeared the film took on a somewhat surreal feel for me, it added a unique flavor to the picture.
8. I really admire the director Justin Tipping, he made the film he wanted to make and that's what I plan to do.
