When El sneaks out to a new sneaker launch, he meets Kira (Lexi Underwood), but doesn’t realize she’s the daughter of a family that’s famous for designing fancy new sneakers. Debuts May 13 on Disney+.

Devyn Nekoda, who plays Sami in the Disney+ movie Sneakerella, talks about the audition process and reveals that she fell in love with skateboarding during the shoot.
