This series started as a fun experiment and quickly evolved into a deep dive into some of the most iconic sneaker moments in film and culture. It all began with Billy and Sidney from White Men Can’t Jump—because what’s more unforgettable than that courtside chemistry and those fits?
From there, the series expanded to include dynamic pairs like Jesus and Jake Shuttlesworth from He Got Game, Pippen and Jordan in full ’90s glory from The Last Dance and the unforgettable style clash of Giancarlo Esposito and Mookie in Do the Right Thing. I wrapped things up with a personal favorite: the Duck Camo Air Max 89 in a custom “Need’em Got’em” moment.
All illustrations were created in Procreate, combining my love for design, sneaker culture and storytelling—one duo at a time.
