About the Movie
To Rock or Stock? Sneakerheads will do almost anything to get their hands on a unique pair of kicks, going to such extreme lengths as hiding in trash cans to score a pair of Retro Jordan 11s to camping for days in sub zero temperatures for the latest Nike Foamposites. How did sneakers become as prized as collectable art? From the shores of Cali to the congested streets of Tokyo, Sneakerheadz examines the cultural influence of sneaker collecting around the world and delves into a subculture whose proud members don’t just want to admire art, they want to wear it.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: According to an unattributed title card, "sneakers are estimated to be responsible for as many as 1,000 deaths per year." If that is true, this documentary buries and tramples the lead.
Fresh: Don't be surprised if respectful reviews and admiring word of mouth entice even older viewers who haven't worn the sort of footwear exalted here since they sweated out high-school P.E. classes.
Rotten: The film places some blame for shoe addiction on media hype, yet it's also culpable of feeding that frenzy.
Fresh: With subject matter so esoteric that an onscreen glossary is provided, Sneakerheadz will leave you shaking your head even as the showcased colorful footwear inevitably induces sneaker envy.
