The movie, which is being described as a comedy, will focus on two young adults who are drowning in debt and get into the sneaker reselling industry to make some quick cash. Despite the business being successful at first, the duo finds themselves needing money once again and look to get help from a shady investor.
Speaking on the film Oklahoma City Thunder star point guard, Chris Paul said:
“American Sole is a story about the highly exciting, very profitable sneaker industry and the secondary sneaker market. With my own personal passion for sneakers and the culture that drives it, I’m excited to be a part of telling this entertaining story.”
