A Breakdown of Shoefiti Theories
Jon on his Vox account breaks down a series of shoefiti theories he’s found after getting turned on to the concept after snapping some photos of shoes hanging from powerlines:
One explanation is that it is indeed a sign of a gang’s turf. Another explanation was that it signified where either crack cocaine or heroin was being dealt. Still others attach it to such negative events as bullying or vandalism. Yet what soon surprised me was that as many sinister explanations that existed, there were just as many beautiful explanations. It’s said that sometimes it is done as a rite of passage for such things as marriage or graduation. Sometimes it is done in memory of someone who’s died.
