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.
