Individual Sneaker Maker Workshop

• No prior knowledge, experience, or skills are needed. All the materials will be provided. You will be individually taught every step of the way with as much guidance as you need.

• You will first learn about shoe deconstruction in order to understand shoe patternmaking and construction. Then you will learn about various fabrics, materials, and threads that will be used to form the silhouette of the shoe. Lastly, you will learn to use a professional grade, industrial sewing machine to assemble your shoes.

• You will get to choose between making a pair of Air Jordan 1 Highs, Dunk Lows, or Air Force Ones. A variety of leathers, materials, and paints will be available for the customization of your sneakers.

• Once you have completed the workshop, you will be able to walk home in your handmade, personally designed pair of sneakers!
