Student Stories
  • As a sneakerhead I can totally recommend this course! Recently completed my third one and I am planning to return soon. Roel is a great mentor. He takes his time for everyone, no matter your level of skill. I learn something new every time. Also, I am working on my sneakers at home too. Even then Roel is always available to help me out through whatsapp. The Sneakersschool brings sneakerheads from over the globe together. This is always such an amazing experience.
