Sneaker Career Course at FIT
Fashion Institute of Technology faculty, together with leaders from Complex and across the sneaker world, will teach you about the key areas, and related career opportunities in the ever-evolving sneaker industry. This is a 100% online course.
Careers in the Sneaker Industry
Product Testers – Sneaker brands employ product testers to test products beyond the simple metrics of comfort or fit. They need to identify potential areas that can become defective or poorly designed, such as a misplaced upper seam or flex point. By recognizing where things can go wrong, the product designers can then tweak the design to avoid these defects and, in turn, issue fewer refunds.
Innovation Engineers work towards implementing the very latest (and future) cutting-edge technology into products, namely footwear, but sometimes sole tech can end up in apparel and vice versa. As such, this high-level job requires a background in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).
Designers are responsible for all your favourite sneakers. Whether they’re operating as an individual or within a team, designers create new products (or sometimes recreate them) for a number of reasons. Some of the most common include implementing the latest technology, such as the Nike Space Hippie line. While others rework old blueprints for a new audience, like the truer-to-OG Air Presto.
Buyer – Buying is a frequently found role on the retail side of the sneaker industry. Buyers choose which product lines and new brands a business wants to carry for the upcoming season/s. The best buyers are often those who started on the shop floor and worked their way up, giving them an up-to-date understanding of what the market wants, but also an analytical mind to balance the numbers.
Writer – Writing about sneakers is perhaps the most autonomous. Almost anyone can become a sneaker writer if they have a blog and an opinion. But, under a more professional and regimented organisation, sneaker writers are penning everything from snappy release blogs to long-form historical deep dive features. Or, they’re just jumping online to bicker with other sneaker writers.
Visual Merchandiser (VM) is the art form of optimising spaces to better sell products. While VMs aren’t exclusive to the sneaker industry, some of the most exciting examples of product marketing have been tied to footwear. It can involve creating window displays to showcase the latest products, or even redesigning an entire space for a pop-up.
Sales Assistant – This job is often the first step towards a career in the sneaker industry. If you stick it out, you’ll pick up valuable industry experience and gain hard-earned understanding that can only be obtained firsthand on the shop floor. Which can be translated into innate knowledge of consumer, and regional market trends.

Ashlee Muhammad
Ashlee Muhammad
Ashlee Muhammad was born blind in one eye. She spent much of her youth being bullied for being “different” and yearned to fit in… until she finally realized she was born to stand out.
Ashlee embraced her differences, especially through her clothing. She was comfortable in her own style even though it was radically different from everyone else in her Harlem neighborhood. Some made fun of her, but Ashlee had a sense there was a future for her in fashion. “I thought, maybe I could make this a thing,” she recalled. “In a world where nothing felt normal, those things felt normal. Maybe this is something I want to tap into as a career when I get older.”
That decision proved to suit her very well. Today, Ashlee is an emerging fashion designer fusing fashion with the social activism of self-love and empowerment for women through her signature brand, #BeEyeConic. “It started as an idea with me learning to love myself,” Ashlee explains. She came up with the “e-y-e” twist in the brand name because it spoke to the truth of her personal story. “I really want to spread the message that you are an individual and you are born to stand out and be your own unique, eye-conic, being.”
Ashlee is also the style curator for Harlem Haberdashery–a trendy boutique in NYC, and works closely with one of the partners there, Kells Barnett. He describes her style as funky and fun and loves how she mixes high and low pieces, such as wearing a lace dress with a sweatshirt over it.
