Description
When a young boy in Harlem brings home a brand new pair of Nike Black
and Red Double pumps, he can already see his future as an NBA star.
Feeling confident, cool, “ice cold” even, he challenges all of his
friends at his local basketball court and beats everyone with ease. But
lurking outside of the court fence is a challenger—No Joke Moke, the
barefoot basketball champion of East Harlem.
“This is the story of my Allstar shoes and the short life they lived on my size 9 feet” begins the young narrator of The Barefoot Champion. Told in simple yet thoughtful language, The Barefoot Champion evokes all of the youthful dreams, exciting new pairs of shoes, and playground legends that make childhood so fun and memorable.
