-
where are you breaking news out of the sneaker world?
-
Today, the King's sisters are flipping the script in a modern day Cinderella story, sneak Carella is a gender reversal of the classic Cinderella story.
-
Well, you know, we had to put a little flavor in a little twist and my character is actually Cinderella.
-
So that's the gender flip.
-
It's a wonderful adventure through self discovery, love between friends, family and also sneaker culture.
-
It's about this boy l who is an aspiring sneaker designer.
-
He has dreams of being like the next serious king who is a retired NBA player sneaker mogul and also happens to be the father of Kyra King who I play.
-
I've seen maybe 18 different renditions of Cinderella.
-
This one is more relevant Now, sneakers have been a movement since 1984 86 when I came to the NBA and that's when it started my cakes, cakes.
-
We worked really hard on curating a really special shoe collection.
-
So pretty much every person, especially all the dancers, a lot of like the sneaker heads in line.
-
There are a lot of really special shoes.
-
As a girl.
-
I've watched Cinderella, of course I'm a sneaker head now.
-
So to bring the two worlds together was bombed.
-
Oh God, this is amazing.
-
I grew up a real fan of Cinderella, but when I became an adult, I noticed that there was just sort of this inherent attitude with young women that I was having to retrain and I realized it was such a fabulous format for rethinking it a little bit.
-
What I'm really excited for audience to see is this diversity in this movie growing up.
-
It was very few movies that I watched had people that look like me.
-
I'm incredibly grateful that I'm able to work with such a diverse crew, behind the screens that I'll be proud of it when I can show it to my friends and family, it shows kids that you don't have to wait for anybody whether you're a boy or a girl or however you identify to feel as though you're a princess, a prince or a boss.
