This course was really helpful for me. Wade got me up to speed fast and I am working on my sneaker designs every day. My dream of starting my own brand is within reach. I recommend this course to others who don’t know where to start and want to learn from a pro. Well worth the price and I will be taking more of them for sure.

Highly recommend for anyone interested in working with footwear as a designer, starting your own brand, or looking to get a job with Nike or some other established brand. Loads of insider-type, real-world information from someone who has worked their way up and around in the industry. Well worth the cost and time.
