UPDATE! Check out our story in The Hollywood Reporter!

Excited to announce that MLB pitcher Jeremy Guthrie of the Kansas City Royals has joined the movie as a Co-Executive Producer!  This also means we'll get a look at Jeremy's amazing sneaker vault!!!

For a $1000 contribution you can snag a custom pair of SNEAKERHEADZ kicks (and much more)!  Only 100 of these babies are being made!  A special colorway designed by us with our "Sneakerheadz" logo stitched on the heel!  Get 'em while they last!!!

OUR MOVIE

SNEAKERHEADZ will examine the worldwide phenomenon of sneaker collecting from the streets of Hollywood to downtown Tokyo.  This will be a feature length documentary chronicling the coolest kicks and the obsessive collectors who chase after the ultimate prize:  Rare “Deadstock” – sneakers that have never been worn but are worth hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars.

How did sneakers become as prized as collectable art?  Who collects?  Why?  SNEAKERHEADZ will delve into this exploding subculture and interview a number of celebrity collectors to find out what makes their appetite for a fresh new pair so strong.

We will reach out to celebrities like Jay-Z, Kanye West and Pharrell Williams; athletes like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and OGs like Dr. J; designers like Jeremy Scott and John Varvados.  We will literally open the vault on some of the biggest and best sneaker collections around!  Shoe collecting has never been more popular. SNEAKERHEADZ will serve as the ultimate exploration of those who don’t just want to admire art, they want to wear it. 

Mike Epps gave us a tour in his closet and showed us his most cherished sneaker collection.

WHAT YOU GET & WHAT WE NEED

Why crowdfunding?  Because we want to make sure we represent the sneaker culture in an authentic and accurate way.  This movie is about sneakerheads so we want to go straight to the source  – Which kicks should we feature?  Who are some big time collectors you want to hear from?  What makes sneakers special to you and what locations should we seek out? (Post in comments!  We'll read everything!)

We’ve already raised $200k of our budget from private investors but still need additional funds to make this the freshest sneaker documentary in the history of the universe.  Our goal is to raise another $100k and all of the money is going on the screen.  What does that mean?  Making a professional doc is not cheap!  There are travel costs to reach all the people we all want to hear from, cool music that has to be licensed and all sorts of other stuff that adds up really quickly. 

So what’s in it for you?  Turns out, we have some special premiums for all of you who join the team.  The coolest ones actually PUT YOU IN THE MOVIE!
