Sole is a documentary that digs into the unique history of sneakers in Philadelphia. Come hear from the designers, store owners, collectors and enthusiasts who look at sneakers not only as function and fashion, but as an artistic passion. While sneakers may serve their functional or fashionable purposes for hundreds of millions, they also serve as a serious hobby and lifestyle for mavens the world over. Some would even say that sneakers have graduated from a simple collector’s item to a bonafide modern art movement. The film Sole delves deep into this underground world, picking the brains of sneaker boutique owners as well as designers and consumers to bring to light a full perspective of this unique business. Over twenty participants open up their shops, closets and shoe boxes for a rare look at the multidimensional landscape that is sneaker culture. Follow Philadelphia’s heavy sneaker hitters as well as everyday sneaker collectors to see what makes them so oddly passionate about this multi-billion dollar industry. Bring your freshest pair!
