  1. The shoe game is dead as we know it. The co-opting/watering down of another inner city cultural phenomenon goes the way of graffiti and hip hop.

  2. this is hot…like some1 mentioned…this class needs to b offered to more collages…i wood join this class asap if i could and if they take it to an advance corse also ill b in there…easy credit and its somethin i can relate to…this hot!

  3. Are you kidding. Like I need some 50 year old white dude to tell me the history of sneaks. This is just another way to get bread out of foke pockets. Hit the streets and talk to headz if you want to learn about sneakers. White people at they money makin finest. I aint hatin really. If you dumb enough to think you need this, they should take your money!

  4. Man, I love sneaks. I love them a lot, but do I need to learn about them in a university classroom? I don't think so. Even if I were the dean of a faculty or something, I'd turn this down as a course. What's the final exam, a trip to Sneaker Pimps? Please.

  5. hell if lil kim can have her own college course then why can't sneakers?

    viva la sneakerology 101!

  6. too bad the school only has a 28 percent acceptant rate. Buts thats pretty sick i would take that class if it was available in more schools.

  7. Ok, I just went back and read some of the other comments. Let's think about this, for college students who need an easy elective. What better class to take? And for all we know, Greg Street could be teaching this class. I mean 9-Wonder teaches college classes on Music at NCCU.

  8. Wow, this is the most retarded idea CMU made. I can't believe this is an actual class, whoever made this should just fall off a cliff.
