Air
Air is a big Nike commercial. A peon to the sports apparel company that was dominant for quite a long time.
One of the weird things about this movie is how it wants to evoke the 80s. Is it enough to remind us of the 80s by just throwing things of the time into the movie? There was a scene that had a skateboarder doing kickflips. I’m not sure that at that time the kickflip was as common then as it is today. Certainly not done with the flick seen in the movie. But there were other things too thrown in to remind us of the 80s. It certainly had me thinking about when a particular thing on the screen showed up if it was correct for that time.
I had a pair or two of Air Jordans and I skated in them totally ruining them with an ollie hole. I had the original white and a pair of red and black. It’s amazing that they are still around. It is an iconic shoe. The movie? Not so much.
3 of 5 stars.
