Last summer, my boy Ciege and I went to The Apollo Theater to watch the documentary Air Force 1: Anatomy of a Legend. The documentary was screened as part of the festivities to celebrate the World Basketball Festival held in NYC during the summer of 2010. More than a year later I still consider this the best documentary I’ve seen.
Since the world premiere of the documentary at The World Basketball Festival I’ve waited and waited for Nike to release this onto DVD to no avail. I’ve checked Netflix & iTunes regularly and more than a year later it’s nowhere to be found. I’ve tweeted Nike and DJ Clark Kent who was featured in the documentary and have been ignored like a cheap hooker. I was even forced to scour the deep dark places of the internet where pirates run free and no one has the booty that is this movie.
So if someone at Nike happens upon this one day, please for the good of all sneakerheads, release this movie into the consumer market so that all sneakerheads might be able to enjoy this great film.
*In case anyone is wondering what my second favorite documentary is, it’s Cocaine Cowboys. Go watch it on Netflix.
