Here is a preview of "Open The Box". A documentary about sneaker culture in Germany that is said to be released online next year.
The movie covers sneaker heads stories and interviews and of course contains footage of some very decent collections.
Hopefully we will see english subtitles when the movie finally releases by next year!
