Kudos to Bamiro for covering this much ground in 83 minutes without leaving you hyperventilating. The detail is so rich, it feels strange not finding it extended over a multi-part Netflix series.

Rated: 4/5

Guardian

This is a documentary that only seems to wake up to its own tragic significance once it is nearly all over.

Rated: 3/5

Culture Mix

One Man and His Shoes offers a fairly comprehensive look at the highs, lows, and everything in between for the popularity of Air Jordan shoes. This documentary's biggest void is not having the participation of Michael Jordan or any of his family members.

Flick Feast

A must-see film for sneakerheads and fans of The Last Dance alike. It might even make you stop and think next time you consider selling your soles for a pair.

Rated: 4/5

Film Stories

One Man And His Shoes diversifies the Air Jordan legacy to a wider audience with insight and thoughts, but its cynosure on American capitalism ultimately imposes its cultural significance.

Rated: 3/5
