Kicks (2016)

In the gritty heart of Oakland, fifteen-year-old Brandon dreams of more than just escaping the reality of his impoverished existence - he dreams of owning the freshest Air Jordans money can buy. He believes that these sneakers, symbols of status and power, will shield him from a world that seems to enjoy his suffering; a world where he's neglected by the opposite sex, belittled by his peers, and even scorned by his closest friends. Through sheer determination and hard work, Brandon finally gets his hands on the coveted sneakers, believing them to be his ticket to salvation. However, his triumph is short-lived when his prized Jordans are snatched away by Flaco, a notorious local hoodlum. Instead of elevating him, the sneakers have made him a target, sinking him deeper into the harsh reality he seeks to escape. But Brandon isn't ready to surrender his dream. With a defiant spirit, fueled by a burning desire for more than what his life has offered him, he embarks on a perilous mission through the labyrinthine streets of Oakland. Accompanied by his two friends, Brandon stares down the face of danger, setting off on a relentless pursuit to retrieve his stolen sneakers. 'Kicks' is a riveting journey of resilience, friendship, and the pursuit of dreams even in the face of the harshest realities, painting a poignant portrait of urban adolescence.
