Kicks centres around Jahking Guillory as Brandon, a 15-year-old whose dream is a pair of fresh Air Jordans. However, once he’s got his hands on them, they’re stolen by a local hood, causing Brandon and his two friends go on a dangerous mission through Oakland to retrieve them.
Directed by Justin Tipping, who co-wrote this with Joshua Beirne-Golden, the film also stars Christopher Jordan Wallace, Christopher Meyer, Kofi Siriboe, Molly Shaiken and Mahershala Ali, and it looks a very engaging drama and well worth checking out.
Kicks is released in the US on September 9th, but as of yet, there’s no UK date.
