“What’s not to love?” said Damien DeAnda, 16, of Chicago. “You can wear them to ball; to the mall; to go out. Michael Jordan flew above and beyond, and it’s reflected in his shoes.” That was the love for the shoe that director Calvan Fowler was in Chicago this past weekend at the United Center to document the cult of Air Jordan afficianados known as Jordan heads. Filmmakers interviewed three Chicago area residents a 17-year-old who works three jobs to feed his Jordan addiction, a mom who built a secured room for her kid’s Jordan collection, and a local man who has 402 pairs of Jordans. “They take this a bit more seriously than the average sneakerhead, there’s a man and a legacy involved," said Calvan Fowler.
The documentary (www.jordanheadsmovie.com), expected to be completed next year, is unlimited in its appeal, asserted Fowler, who is from Brooklyn, N.Y.
