where are you now breaking news out of
the sneaker world today the king's
sisters are flipping the script in a
modern day cinderella story sneakerella
is a gender reversal of the classic
cinderella story
[Music]
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 leave it
it's a wonderful adventure through
self-discovery love between friends
family and also sneaker culture it's
about this boy elle 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 in the nba and that's when it
started my kids
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 bond 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 have people that look like me
i'm incredibly grateful that i'm able to
work with such a diverse crew behind the
screen 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
