Last week, we posted the trailer for the upcoming coming-of-age indie, Kicks, Justin Tipping’s feature film directorial debut. This week, we have a new clip for this highly-anticipated drama.
The film is a vibrant coming-of-age story bursting with magical realism, delivering an entertaining but sobering look at the realities of inner-city life, manhood, and sneaker culture, with a soundtrack that includes hip-hop classics hip-hop heads will love.

Kicks follows 15-year-old Brandon (Jahking Guillory) who 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, ignored by girls, and routinely bullied by other. Working hard to get them, he soon finds that the shoes have instead made him a target after they are taken away from him by local thug Flaco, a man with complexities of his own that will be revealed when Brandon goes on a mission to retrieve his stolen sneakers with his two best friends along for the adventure.
Rounding out the cast is Christopher Meyer, CJ Wallace, Kofi Siriboe, and Mahershala Ali. Joshua Beirne-Golden wrote the script, David Kaplan will produce the film.
Kicks will be released in theaters on September 9, 2016.
