InsideHoops.com is getting more into basketball sneakers and basketball sneaker documentaries. InsideHoops.com editor Jeff Lenchiner hit YouTube, checked out some documentaries, and posted some below that he felt were worth watching for one reason or another. We'll update this page periodically.

By the end of February, 2007 InsideHoops.com expects to have the best sneaker section of any national sports website.

Note that all the videos below are hosted by YouTube. None of these videos are hosted on InsideHoops.com's servers.

And now, check out some InsideHoops.com-recommended sneaker documentaries:
