Sneakerology 101 at Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania


A university level course class dealing with sneaker culture. Ranging from its roots in the 1970s to its shaping by hip-hop, the internet, and basketball among other factors. The course covers the overall impact of sneakers on a worldwide level. The class utilizes Bobbito Garcia's "Where'd You Get Those?" for reference as well as various sneaker-based websites. Evaluations include a mid-term project pertaining to the design of a sneaker, incorporating elements acquired along the way. Interested parties can sign up for the class' next session set for Spring of 2009.
