SOLEcial Studies, the sneaker industry education program founded in 2011, announced today that it has partnered with Heeling Profits (501c3) to open the SOLEcial Studies CommUNITY Academy (SSCA) in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn. The SSCA’s mission is to educate and empower more people to learn about and actively seek out careers in the sneaker industry, particularly in the more corporate, non-creative areas. Over 100 alumni from the program now work in the sneaker and fashion industries, and its curriculum has expanded to include courses about intellectual property (IP), business networking, Web 3 technology, and NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness).

In addition to Obsessive Sneaker Disorder (OSD) and SOLEcial Studies founders Sean Williams and Dee Wells and Heeling Soles, the SSCA is also backed by world-renowned DJ, music producer, and composer Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest).

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
