Brooklyn native, Sean Williams, co-founder of SOLEcial Studies CommUNITY Academy (SSCA) and The Obsessive Sneaker Disorder Podcast, drops in to share his Hoop Dreams Origin Story. SOLEcial Studies is America's first sneaker business and culture academy. Sean and his business partner, co-founder Dee Wells, are committed to creating a better sneaker industry focused on three key words - Appreciate, Educate and Elevate. The academy is supported by legends such as Kool DJ Red Alert and Ali Shaheed Muhammad from A Tribe Called Quest. Through their courses they teach how the industry works, educate students of all ages on what jobs are available in the industry and also teach the history of sneaker culture. They recently launched a course, Strictly For The Ladies, to encourage more women to get involved in the industry. Their Podcast, OSD (Obsessive Sneaker Disorder), is the longest running sneaker focused podcast. Launched in 2007 as a weekly internet call-in talk show it is now available on YouTube and has featured an incredible list of sneaker industry guests. So tap-in and listen as Sean drops some knowledge learned from his 40 years of living and breathing hip hop culture, from graffiti, to DJing, breaking, MCing and of course sneakers.
