Sneaker design minor

Atlanta

Savannah

From sportswear and street style to runway fashion and museum exhibitions, sneakers have transcended their primary function and made their mark as cultural commodities. In the sneaker design minor, students develop knowledge and skills in sketching, rendering, concept development, design, digital prototyping, and branding for luxury and high-performance sneakers. Working with leading-edge virtual-reality technology, students amplify possibilities for innovative and sustainable sneaker design and manufacturing. Students who complete the sneaker design minor emerge with a professional-quality portfolio that includes both physical and digital prototypes of original sneaker designs.
