What is the meaning of those sneakers hanging high? Version of graffiti called shoefiti? A sign that you are living or leaving, loving or travelling, blaming or just are joyful? Or someone was killed? Or a girl lost her virginity? Or a sign to police by drug dealers to keep out? Or a sign to authorities, that they can’t extinguish every individual comment? Maybe a sign that you are existing similar to those made by photographers, bloggers – or guitarists = background music: me…

Maybe the sneakers were in protest to some of the non-sensical statues on some of the building of Berlin. Hehe 🙂

That’s a good idea to hang them high.

Shoes hanging from the lines always bug me – I think of teenagers looking for something to do… maybe there is a deeper meaning though?

I’m glad to see this addressed–I remain very curious about the meaning, and I doubt that it’s trivial.

I love sneakers hanging on power lines – like a taunt with the knowledge that they are so hard to remove…the Nike revolution!

I can’t help thinking some bullies took them from people. Some more fragile than themselves, and threw them out of reach. I hope not.

Frizz, another curious activity about shoes is that some bus and taxi drivers in Mexico City hang baby shoes, I suppose their children’s shoes, in their rearview mirrors.

that’s a charming idea! I should do so with the shoes of my 4 grandchildren!
P.S.: I’m wondering, why I never noticed high heels as a trophy up above my head … – maybe because women never would give up their shoes?

Hahah Or maybe because those don’t have shoelaces to tie them up and hang them on the wires, as sneakers do.
If you hang your grandchildre’s shoes, show us a picture!
Kind greetings.
