Yes. People hang sneakers on wires to keep them from their owners, or to discard them and have people make up silly stories about them. :o) It is probably not a "drug house sign," or a "gang territory sign," according to this site for urban myths. http://www.snopes.com/crime/gangs/sneakers.asp Hope this helped!

Kid 1: "Check out my awesome sneakers!" Kid 2: "Screw you, give me those" ::Kid 2 ties the laces together and throws at power cords:: Kid 2: "Take that sucka! Now you have no shoes. Good luck trying to get them now" That's how it works.

We used to do it for fun and see who could get them to stay. Kinda like a game. lol

You are "shouting" but no more sound is coming out of the keyboard as if it was without CAPS.

i dont know if there is a reason.i've seen them over wires on I81 in VA.

Inner city kids seem to trump suburbia when it comes to sports. This is just more evidence of it. It proves that kids from the hoods are getting dangerously close to learning how to fly-the only thing holding them back is that their shoelaces keep getting tangled in the power lines.

It's all about gang territory in New Orleans.
-
The reason is because they can and it caught on. OKAY????
-
I've heard that it means there is drug activity close by...and that the color of the shoes and laces are used as some type of code that only "they" know. I'd buy the drug scenerio but I dont know about the color code part. And you hurt my ears btw :-(...

-
I don't know if it is true or not but I heard it was a gang thing.

They live in the ghetto where for fun you eather rob the local liquor store or throw your shoes into the power lines. Food stamps don't buy playstations!!!

Because it looks funny to them.
-
Where i live, it use to mean that where ever they are hanging is where you can go to copp whatever it is you are looking for.
-
OK
-
i find it funny to look at. Its kind of a waste to do it but hey, its something to talk about if ur walking with ur gf or somethin.
-
It means somebody died there and they hang his shoes in memoriam.
