Synopsis:
Joe is an 11 year old with a problem. While other kids in the neighbourhood are strolling around in the newest, latest footwear, Joe's battered old trainers are falling apart. "Not cool" for a loner, trying to summon up the courage to talk to Alice, the girl-next-door, Joe's life seems to be going nowhere, until the day he gets his hands on a new pair of shoes.
