Think Out Loud

The second ever African American Footwear Forum is taking place in Portland this weekend as a part of Sneaker Week. Industry professionals, athletes, designers, and others will gather to talk about the challenges of an industry that markets to people of color, but doesn’t include very many people of color. Stephen Green is the director of operations at the footwear design school Pensole. Bimma Williams is the co-founder of Claima, and a former Adidas employee.
