The LA Film Festival premiere of “Kicks"



The LA Film Festival premiere of “Kicks” directed by Justin Tipping was recently held at ArcLight Cinemas in Culver City. All fans and family came out to support the modern day version of The Wood.  “Kicks” is a classic story that any sneaker fan will relate too. Notorious B.I.G said “Mo Money, Mo Problems” is the motto when it comes to people hating on what you have. Ironically, this film features the son of the legendary rapper CJ Wallace. With a phenomenal remaining cast of Jahking Guillory, Christopher Meyer, Kofi Siriboe, and Mahershala Ali this we be sure to deliver.

Director Justin Tipping was inspired by a true life event of when he was robbed for his shoes at a younger age. Years later, he’s turned that experience into a film that will go down as a classic. “Kicks” is about realities of inner-city life, the concept of manhood and the fetishization of sneaker culture. The cast consist of Jahking Guillory, Christopher Meyer, CJ Wallace, Kofi Siriboe, and Mahershala Ali.

Eurweb’s own Jimmy V was on the red carpet talking it up with the cast about sneakers and what message they want this film to give out. The scenario was: It’s a Friday night and you’re on the way to the mall. What brand of sneakers are you purchasing Jordan, Nike, or Adidas? The cast was a mixed group with answers of all 3 brands but they knew once you put the sneakers on you felt like a new man. This feeling is what’s going to connect the audience with one another. This is a young cast with a lot of positive energy that’s going to deliver a positive message to all their fans.
