Sole Folks Sneaker Lab

The Sole Folks Sneaker Lab powered by TEC Leimert is a sneaker design incubator that focuses on under-resourced, local creative talent and provides them with professional tools for design, mentorship, go-to-market strategies, and seed capital to launch a brand. The the10-week program begins in February 2022 with a cohort of 20 participants in the vibrant Leimert Park community in Southern California. Our incubator is a highly proprietary, non-duplicated, completely vertically-integrated model.

Our primary role is to provide our services to the South Los Angeles young adult community, fostering pillars of economic development. We are preparing underserved youth for sustainable careers in the digital economy.
