SPECIAL EVENT: Everything Kicks at The New Parkway Theater - MAR 17
This project is very near and dear to my heart, as it is the brainchild of my love, Phillip Nelson, who like myself is an Oakland native with a deep seated love for his hometown and its residents. Born and raised in Oakland, Phil is a certified "Sneakerhead" whose sneaker collection at one time topped over 300 pair of shoes. He loves the game so much he decided to document the culture a few years ago and what we have today is "Everything Kicks", a highly anticipated 120 minute film, directed and produced by Phil! After countless hours of editing, the film is ready for screening and you're invited. I've seen the doc (of course!) and it's very informative! Come out in your freshest kicks and get snapped on the red carpet! All for an amazing cause!
