Rock Rubber 45s (2018)

Rock Rubber 45s: Directed by Bobbito Garcia. With Luis Da Silva Jr.. ROCK RUBBER 45s is a cinematic odyssey exploring the connectivity of global basketball, sneaker, and music lifestyle through the firsthand lens of authentic NYC culture orchestrator Bobbito García. The film explores García’s youth dealing with mistreatment, educational quandaries, identity, and loss as well as his ascension to self-determination as an adult freelance creative. The ballplayer/author/DJ/filmmaker has carved an independent career that has inspired millions throughout the world, and has affected the growth and direction of the footwear, hip hop, and sports industries in the process.

“Bobbito has been like a north star for authenticity, heart, and the creative/innovative spirit I associate with hip-hop culture. This documentary beautifully captures all those things, from humanitarian work in South Africa, to the joyous Wonder-Full parties, his life has built and celebrated the communities Iu0026#39;m proud to be a part of.nEnjoy the rare and never-before-seen footage of streetball legends, along with highlights from his time playing basketball professionally in Puerto Rico.nAnd if youu0026#39;re looking for inspiration or encouragement, his story and message serve that up lovely. This is a gem and I recommend watching and sharing with anyone that has any connection to hip-hop culture, New York, streetball, basketball, sneakers, DJu0026#39;ing, radio, Puerto Rico – or you know what, share it even if they donu0026#39;t. Itu0026#39;s that great.nSalute!”
