In Memphis, Jookin is a fact of everyday life. For Lil Buck to stand out from the crowd, he had to branch out from Jookin into such varied disciplines as ballet, gymnastics, and later classical music and world dance to create a completely novel amalgam of physical expression. His talent has also led to performances for Yo-Yo Ma, Spike Jonze and Madonna, bringing his one-of-a-kind ”street ballet” to a global stage. Lil Buck’s journey is much like the unchanging innovation behind the 30-year history of Air Max, which has progressed from a minuscule Visible Air window into the fully-fledged VaporMax technology.
