Hanging Kicks
Here’s the Turalura Hanging Kicks Tshirt. What do you know about the Hanging Kicks?
When I was a little kid and I saw a pair of sneakers hanging over a lamppost, I assumed that this was something bullies do: steal other kids’ kicks and then throw them up there so the kid couldn’t get them back. The kid would be forced to go home shoeless, certain to get in some very big trouble. The diabolism of the bully mind: humiliate you in front of your peers and then send you off barefoot to be punished by your parents
I never actually saw this happen, but the hanging kicks were an ever-present part of the urban landscape.
Now I understand that the hanging kicks may actually be a street code for “Drugs Sold on This Block”. However this interpretation has not been verified. If you know something, say something!
Weeds growing up through the sidewalk cracks is another omnipresent urban environmental element. When we turn our backs for a second, nature encroaches in even the unlikeliest places.
I think that’s very cool.
