DA Decon-Recon Classes: New Flexible Schedule!

Experience the ultimate shoe customization class (5 full days) of Drode Atelier's Deconstruction-Reconstruction Class- NOW WITH A SCHEDULE THAT CAN FLEX WITH YOURS! 

We know it's hard to take a full week off from work, so we are now offering Saturday kick-off sessions, with the remaining 4 days arranged flexibly. Choose from one of the kick-off dates that works best for you, and we'll follow-up with an email to nail down the rest of the dates. We highly recommend you starting off with a full Saturday + Sunday weekend combo, if possible!

ALSO NEW!! You'll also get to choose from a variety of available shoe silhouettes (AJ1 Low, TS-AJ1, Superstar, Samba, Clyde, and more!). You'll not only create a unique pair of shoes, but also learn essential skills and enhance your knowledge for successful customization.
