Sneaker Essentials is an online certificate course curated by the Fashion Instutue of Technology and Complex Media. I enrolled in Sneaker Essentials to get a better grasp of the footwear industry and see what facet my interests and skillset align with. 


Assignment 1: Sneaker Portfolio
(choose 9 shoes)
The nine sneakers that put me in a state of bliss, elation, and happiness... otherwise known as: Cloud 9.


Assignment 2: Grail 
This shoe was released in Nike's iconic Be True To Your School collection. This shoe defies all common "sneaker codes" as it comes out of the box in a condition that's in every Sneakerhead's worst nightmare: oxidized, aged, and creased. These attributes are the exact reason why they are my grail.
Assignment 3: Mood Board 
Most of these photos (the uncredited ones) are from my own personal archive. I take photos of whatever sparks joy to me: a nice Bronco set up, my pressed-juice art, fabric swatch roll, or a garbage bin in Maui. There is so much fresh inspiration out there that can link to my personality and interests. 
Assignment 4: Shoe Design 
Here are my three designs: a running shoe, a hiking/outdoor shoe, and a lifestyle high top. Inspired by my mood board and Spring. The collection is called: Pollen.
