19:00 Doors 19:30 Introduction 19:45 Just for Kicks (2005)

Together with Fanclub Centrum, we invite a special Amsterdammer on a regular basis to curate a film night. This time the honour goes to Edson Sabajo again, co-founder of Patta and hip-hop lover from the very beginning. With him and Sneakerjagers we will watch the 2005 documentary “Just For Kicks” by director Thibaut de Longeville, about sneaker culture.

Since B-Boys first propelled them out of the New York City playgrounds in the 70's, sneakers have morphed from a tool for athletic performance to Hip Hop's cornerstone symbol of cool and an object of obsession for sneakers collectors world wide. Analyzing this global pop culture phenomenon, Just For Kicks shows the underlying culture and personalities that fueled this fashion revolution and its $26 billion global market.

After the film, there will be a panel discussion with Edson Sabajo, Tommy Triggah, Tim Beumers and a special guest.

Fanclub Centrum is an online platform that highlights all the good things the centre of Amsterdam has to offer. For locals, by locals.
