The Sneakers

by Shawn James

Overview

Sometimes, the price paid for a pair of shoes is more than money.

Trakaim and Luis are best friends who love sneakers. When they spot the new Air Jordans in the window of the Dr. Jays on Fordham Road their friendship turns into a rivalry when they make a bet on who will be the first to have the new kicks.

Not wanting to look soft, the boys look for ways to hustle the cash to pay for their shoes. As their quest for the green takes them on two very different roads, the boys learn valuable life lessons worth more than the price of a pair of shoes.
