LACED…Documentary of Nike Basketball shoes

LACED is a 12 episode documentary about the history and culture of Nike basketball shoes. People from all over the globe that come from different cultural and economic backgrounds are drawn together with their love of shoes.

There is just something sweet about sporting a fresh pair of shoes straight out of the box. And of course you got to have different styles to go with all your gear. And everybody loves being unique and having a pair that no ones got yet. Ah…the pleasures in life that entertain us!

Anyways… this documentary is fascinating for anyone who is into basketball shoes, design, and the influence that culture and sport have had on each other. There are multiple video clips that are well done (of course because Nike don’t fake the funk) so check it out.

    I’ll bet they don’t mention all the kids working in sweatshops overseas to maintain the over-head…
