    Sole: A Philly Sneaker Documentary Directed by Sosena Solomon. Sole takes an entertaining yet informative look into the underground world of sneaker culture in Philadelphia. 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 bona fide modern art movement. 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 shoeboxes 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.
