The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania University currently offers an undergraduate course that is devoted SOLEly to the sneaker culture; Sneakerology 101. Yup, you heard a correctly.The class covers everything from the Adidas Superstar that Run DMC championed in the 80s to the day-glo throw-up currently dominating the backs of sneakerheads in the form of hoodies and graphic tees.
Bobbito Garcia’s Where’d You Get Those? - documents sneaker culture in New York from 1960 to 1987- is used as a reference as well as various sneaker sites. (LOL I wonder if they're using Hypebeast and Niketalk.com as a learning tool?)
However, like any other college course, there is a mid-term; a project that deals with the overall design of a sneaker (that sounds SICK!)...So, if you’re able to afford the $50,000 tuition next semester - openings are still available.
