Adience
This course has proven to be ideal for various groups of people:
We do require that participants are already footwear professionals and have experience with footwear design. This is not a course for absolute beginners! The focus is on sneakers: we will NOT be making high heels!
- any designers wanting to learn how to design sustainable sneakers that are manufacturable locally
- sneaker startups that want to use the course to develop their prototype(s)
- orthopedic shoemakers and other people interested in modern methods of custom shoemaking
