New York icon Sean Williams, a titan in the sneaker world for over three decades, is set to share his expertise in a can’t-miss online masterclass for the Global Footwear Awards (GFA) and FIT Sport Design Awards community. Williams, a pioneer in the sneaker talk show scene and advisor to global brands, brings a wealth of knowledge to this exclusive program.
Titled “How Sneakers Redefined Luxury and Status,” this course will dive into the fascinating journey of sneakers, from their humble beginnings as athletic footwear to their current status as a cultural phenomenon and coveted status symbol. Williams goes beyond design, exploring the broader cultural impact of sneakers, encompassing their usage, evolution, and even sustainability.
The class will begin with an introspective exercise, setting the stage for a thought-provoking exploration of how hip-hop embraced sneakers as a canvas for self-expression. This movement, Williams argues, ultimately reshaped street style and redefined the very concept of luxury.
