Anthony's Footwear Designer Mission

Hello everyone,

My name is Anthony Arias, I am 32 years old, and I am a self-taught, aspiring footwear designer from New York City. My passion for sneaker design began at a young age, in the South Bronx at a time when urban fashion was, and still is, defined by who had the "dopest" and latest kicks on. For the past 2 years my mission was to land a spot at the only intensive academy for all areas of footwear design, including concept development, sketching, construction, textiles, branding and marketing. With hard work and determination, I have been accepted to a master class at Pensole Academy in Portland, Oregon. In order to finance the tuition, I am asking you to help contribute towards my cause. Any little bit would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! Please feel free to share.

With gratitude,

Anthony Arias
