The four-part documentary series is a reminder that we live for the moments in our sneakers \u2014 not for the sneakers themselves.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Sneaker culture, especially in the modern age, has thrived off of exclusivity, hype, and the fear of missing out (FOMO). While that has served as a conversation starter and a needle mover within the last few years, the inherited and undeniable soul of sneaker culture lies within the stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sole stories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Octavius A. Newman<\/a>‘s “Sole Stories” reflects on what gives sneaker culture its vibrant heartbeat that has turned a passion into a billion-dollar industry: the stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Composed of four different episodes featuring diverse members of the sneaker community, “Sole Stories” goes beyond the hype, the resale value, and the aesthetic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather, Newman’s approach is about capturing the story that gives each shoe life.<\/p>\n\n\n
