When I think of movie sneakers, White Men Can’t Jump with Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson is the first one that comes to mind. I know that probably not the case for many people, especially with movies like Space Jam, He Got Game, and Do The Right Thing.
What’s weird is that I didn’t see the movie until a handful of years after it came out. Of the four movies I mentioned, I saw them in the following order as a teenager:
Do The Right Thing
White Men Can’t Jump
He Got Game
Space Jam
What’s the first movie that comes to mind when you think of sneakers? Is it the first movie you saw where sneakers were such a big part of the story?
