"I've been doing sneaker customizations and restorations for over a year and at this point in time, I started to see the bespoke/customization world flourish. I had been following a few social media pages for some time & finally decided to commit. I felt as though it was the perfect time to get involved, and SDCF was the perfect opportunity to expand my knowledge. Before class, I was concerned that my basis of knowledge would not be sufficient for the class. I hadn't done much sewing, cutting, and reconstruction. I was going in the class more or less blind. But the instructors were absolutely amazing! Rey especially, shows an amazing mastery of the skills utilized in this course. Travis was able to teach, help, and answer all questions to aid students in class. Adrina's attitude was infections and her positivity encouraged the class as a whole. Julian did an amazing job with photography & videography, which helped the class be proud of our process, from the lens of another person. Overall, I think that the experience was absolutely incredible. I was ecstatic that I had the opportunity to attend and really appreciate what SDCF is doing for the bespoke/custom scene. It really is an amazing experience and I am thrilled to have been a part of it!"

"CEO & owner of Krown9Customs. One of the best classes I have ever taken in my life. Great experience, definitely challenging. 13 hour days of hard work and dedication to come out with a masterpiece, something you own, something you created. If you want a challenge and want to embark on a new opportunity, this is the class you need to take!"

"This is my very first class with SDCF. Excellent experience! They've walked me through every step of the process. I had 0 experience coming into this class, but after leaving I'm fully confident in taking my knowledge home and start getting to work. Rey & the Crew are excellent, walking me through the whole process. I'm very happy with my product, if you're thinking about it, definitely take the class. Highly recommended!"

"My Wife gifted me this class & I am amazed by everything about SDCF. My family & I love sneakers, so for me to actually customize one was by far one of the best experiences of my life. I'm really proud of what I made, and was actually apprehensive about coming to this class, but Rey & the staff were so helpful. Aside from creating my kids, this is my second proudest moment of creating something. Thank you Rey!"

"I was actually one of Rey's very first students when he first started teaching classes. After the first class, I knew I needed to come back. The culture & class is such a great experience. If you're looking to start or elevate your shoe making game, this is the place to take a class. Even after the class, Rey continues to reach out and help or just to check in. This isn't just a Brand, its a community. I'll be back again!"

If you want something you’ve never had, gotta do things you’ve never done before.“A comprehensive class on shoe design and structure from beginning to end! It was amazing, very challenging but I would do it again soon!! Instructors were amazing, teaching us from beginner level to high level craftsmanship. They answered all my questions & concerns and always provided feedback. I'll be back, thanks for having me!!”

"Saw the materials and immediately wanted to go with the Red, Green, and Black colorway. Ended up making these and called them the 'RBG' TS 1's. I'll never forget my time here working with the SDCF Staff & being immersed in a new profession. My creativity came from photography & videography, so it was dope to see that come to life on a shoe. Highly recommend this class, and don't wait, seats do fill up quick!"

"What inspired me to make this shoe is the fact that I'm already a sneaker head & owning a bunch of cool sneakers wasn't enough. The color way on this shoe I didn't have, so I decided I wanted to level up. I've been following SDCF for a while now and loved what I saw. It's been the best investment ever. The instructors were great, knowledgeable, and very hands on. I highly recommend anyone to take a class. I cannot wait to take it again!"

Today we made some Off-White sneakers, I love the red colorway, that's why I chose this one. I just added some patches, it's the same as the original but with added swoosh patches to make it a little different. And the class, I loved the class and will definitely be back. So yeah, "activo"!
