I just came back from my Youth Culture & Fashion class and I watched this very great documentary today on hip-hop and sneaker culture. The film is called Just For Kicks and it was made in 2005. The documentary looks back at hip-hop culture and how it shaped the world of fashion as it is today. From the early days of breakdancing to early rap groups like Run-DMC, to big-time sports celebrity sponsorships, Just For Kicks covers seems to cover all important aspects of the culture then and now.

I liked the film so much that I just added it to my Netflix.

You can order the DVD at Amazon.com for only $10. It’s worth it, get it!

Here’s a quick preview of the film.
