and many others

sneaker culture and will premiere later this summer on Crackle
Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (NASDAQ: CSSE) today
announced it has green lit the sneaker lifestyle meets hip-hop
series Just for Kicks. The series comes from producer/director
Rhyan LaMarr and entrepreneur Antoine Wade and features well-known
entertainment and NBA stars, including Allen Iverson, Jordan
Clarkson, Rich the Kid, Bun B, Barton Fitzpatrick, and many others.
Just for Kicks is being produced in association with Crackle
Connex, the company’s advertising division which will integrate
brands into the series. It will premiere later this summer on the
free streaming service Crackle.
Hosted by millennial influencers Don Benjamin, Wes Armstrong,
and Jadi Torres, Just for Kicks brings together a diverse range of
guests to discuss their most exciting shoe stories and reveal the
reasons behind some of the boldest fashion choices we’ve ever seen.
The series will feature a range of games and challenges like never
before that are sure to stump even the most confident shoe
aficionados.
Just for Kicks will also feature interviews with celebrities
from across sports, movies, and music, including 11-time NBA
All-Star and Hall of Famer Allen Iverson, Utah Jazz guard Jordan
Clarkson, music icons Bun B and Rich the Kid, and actors Jessie T.
Usher from The Boys, and Barton Fitzpatrick from The Chi. Just for
Kicks will also have world-famous DJ Whoo Kid, who will do more
than play music – while comedian and host Wayne Young will keep the
audience involved as the MC of the party.
“We're thrilled to bring Just for Kicks to audiences who love
sneakers," said Antoine Wade, producer. "There are no barriers,
ethnic boundaries, or divisions when it comes to sneaker culture
and fashion. A CEO can wear the same shoes as a kid from the inner
city. That accessibility creates a universal love and appreciation
for shoes beyond social classes. It starts with shoes and takes us
all over the map, from music and fashion to inspirational stories
and what's happening worldwide."
“Sneaker culture is huge and has massive potential for brands to
be front-and-center with this hard-to-reach audience,” said Michele
Fino, head of branded content for Crackle Connex. “Just for Kicks
has great sponsorship potential as a television show with
additional unique extensions, such as exclusive behind-the-scenes
content and promotions on our Redbox kiosks nationwide. We’ve
already been discussing the continuation strategy for Just for
Kicks beyond the first season – potentially including gaming,
eSports, and different music genres. The opportunities are endless.
It’ll be great programming for our audiences and something I know
my 14-year-old son and I will love.”
