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.

Highly recommend. Flexible learning, expert guidance, and invaluable resources. I wish I found this information 5 years ago - it would have saved me hours of work, and thousands of dollars in design and manufacturing errors.
