The Shoe Surgeon Creator’s Academy

Dominic “The Shoe Surgeon” Ciambrone is known for his custom takes on iconic sneakers like the Air Jordan and Air Force 1. Now he’s offering aspiring artists a chance to learn from him and his team. The Surgeon Creator’s Academy classes are four-day experiences that teach students how to fully deconstruct and reconstruct sneakers. Each course includes a pair of shoes to customize, a shoemaking toolkit, unlimited leather to use during the class, a sewing boot camp, and guide on where to source materials and tools, daily breakfast, lunch, and beverages, and a private dinner/networking event hosted by The Surgeon and his team.
