Who would have thought? An entire semester on sneakers wow, someone pinch me.  When will NCC add this class to the curriculum?
Pennsylvania's Carnegie Mellon University has added a class that is an introductory into the sneaker culture. the course is simply titled Sneakerology 101. 

The course starts off with topics such as the ranging routes of sneakers in the late 70s and continues on to explain things such as the shape it has now taken with the impact of hip hop. Other details of the course go into the internet influence, basketball factors and the overall impact the sneaker culture has had worldwide.  One of the biggest references in the class is Bobbittio Garcia's book 'Where Did You Get Those'. 
Evaluations of students include projects about sneaker design and a mid term,
Now I shall look for some sort of online course.
