Footwear Design School

Step into the world of sneaker design

Get ready to think big, sketch fast, and design something totally you. During this Â鶹Íø Inspire day, you’ll get a taste of the Threads project — exploring where sneaker ideas come from and turning your imagination into bold, original designs.

From culture and identity to what matters to your generation, your designs will tell a story as you experiment, draw, and take part in fun, creative challenges. Along the way, you’ll build skills designers really use — researching ideas, developing concepts, and communicating your thinking visually.

The day wraps up with a mini exhibition on campus, showcasing big ideas, fresh thinking, and trainers that speak for your generation. This experience gives you a real taste of how creative ideas are developed and presented at university and in the design industry.
