Sneakerology 101 - Carnegie Mellon University
| If after reading Bobbito’s Where’d You Get Those you thought that you just got a dose of Sneakerology 101, guess what, Carnegie Mellon University would agree.
Bob’s book is on the reading list of Sneakerology 101, a new course offered by Carnegie Mellon University. This course studies the impact that sneakers have on fashion, identity, and cultures throughout the world. While they claim that there is no “prerequisite of pairs”, you will need to somehow come up with $52,000 a year for tuition and room and board. Info via HypeBeast. |

The school did this for marketing more than anything if you want my opinion. What a waste of tuition

You probably can, but this school is a top 10 academic school. If you’re going to any of these schools, 52K+ is what you’re going to pay. And more popular schools? USC costs around the same thing (45K).

I wonder who teaches it…
Comment by BKost — March 13, 2008 @ 6:05 pm

Funny…I’m presenting on Bobbito’s book in a faculty lecture series at my University. I’m also writing a book of poetry dedicated to Sneaker culture.
