Regulators, mount up! Before Jesus Shuttlesworth was a kid named Kyle Lee Watson—just a high school baller trying to take his game to Georgetown and keep his people close in the process. We don't want to give too much away if you haven't seen the film other than it is a must see—the Death Row soundtrack might be the greatest of all time, Tupac kills it, Pee Wee Kirkland makes a cameo, and oh yeah there is some dope footwear as well. We decided to check the game tape and break it down so next time you have a lazy Sunday with your boys you can hit them with a little sneaker 101. Click on the gallery to check out A Complete Sneaker Guide to 'Above The Rim' and just throw this on repeat while you do.
