I see it, but what is it about? Do kids steal other kids shoes and tie them together and throw them up there to be dicks? How the hell do you steal a guy's shoes like that?

Where I grew up it was usually done to show where someone had died. Like a hood version of the roadside memorial.

Once we figure this out, somebody needs to tell me why canned salmon for my cat looks better and is more expensive than the canned salmon you can buy for human consumption.
I think we are getting the raw end of the deal.

I have only seen this in my hometown , Queens,NY - No one has ever given me a real explanation about it. I've been told its people shoes that have been stolen , People who lost fights had their shoes taken off - & the shoes signifying where the fight took place, & the shoes belonging to a person recently deceased

All I know is that there is great probability that said shoes will scuff up the topless dancing runway and should be left for a woman o' less discriminatin' taste.

from reading that... it doesn't really have a significant reasoning on it's own. But people use it for a bunch of things.

If movies taught me anything its that if you take the shoes off the power line during a thunderstorm and get struck by lightning you get the talent of Michael Jordan.

I've seen a few of these hanging shoes, but what happens when the dealer gets busted?

my mother said it was to celebrate the end of the school year since your school shoes were being retired and you could now wear sneakers, which weren't allowed to be worn in school when she was a kid.

Do people still do this? I always thought it was an 80's thing.
