The dramatic comedy follows a young teen, Brandon, as he does everything in his power to get back his pair of stolen Jordans. Brandon sees these shoes as his way to rise above the realities of his life where he’s picked on by bigger kids and ignored by the girls he’s desperate to impress. Here’s the synopsis:

In Justin Tipping’s feature debut Kicks, nothing is as simple as it seems. Fifteen-year-old Brandon 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, neglected by the opposite sex and picked on by everyone — even his best friends. Working hard to get them, he soon finds that the titular shoes have instead made him a target after they are promptly snatched by local hood, Flaco. Seemingly the embodiment of menace, Flaco harbors complexities of his own that will be revealed when Brandon goes on a mission to retrieve his stolen sneakers with his two best friends in tow.

The film stars newcomer Jahking Guillory and features an soundtrack of both hip-hop classics and Bay Area favorites. “Kicks” opens on September 9th.
