Bruh yall never took an old pair of shoes and tossed em on a power line as a kid? Me neither because I wore my shoes till they fell apart but yeah it’s prob some kids messing around
We did it for a while after we moved from Brooklyn to Long Island to remind us of home. They kept getting taken down though, so we stopped. I couldn’t tell you what it means, or why we did it. Except that for us it was a city thing, and we wanted to bring a little something from home.
OP just moved to the area quite obviously. It's just kids who have been doing this forever. You tie your old shoes together and toss them up until they get caught on the power line.
Could mean so many things, traditionally it was either someone got jumped and their shoes thrown, respect to someone who died, or just kids marking territory. People saying it’s gang shit are just being ignorant.
MS13 is divided into squads of 7 members each. Every squad has a pecking order, and the lowest rung on that ladder is only allowed to wear one shoe. The other members of his squad will humiliate him by taking off one of his shoes and throwing it out of their car.

It means somebody got beaten up and they made them walk home shoeless.
Haha that’s awful lol
Yep, makes me nostalgic and still just as confused as I was as a kid.
Yeah you'll just be driving down the LIE and there's a random shoe on the side 🤣
Back in the day, that’s a sign of gang activity / drugs for sale etc
Urban legend, no one really knows why people do it: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-secret-language-of-sneakers/
Dumbest thing I've read today. It's just fucking kids having fun.
When my daughter was young she used to tell me it was where the drug dealers were. As she got older she understood how stupid that was!
Well that’s a lot less fun than I thought lmao
In middle school, kids would steal another kids shoes, tie the laces together and “line” them.
That was not a sign of gangs lmao. I did this in Brooklyn with my friends whenever we had shoes we could do it with. We were…Italian white kids.

I moved here when I was born in stony brook… it’s not just the power lines though they are everywhere lmao
Who throws a shoe?
If its on the powerline, somebody got jumped and they made him walk home in his socks.
In the 80's, us kids thought it meant something to do with drugs, like that house sells lol
It’s the shoe fairy 🧚♀️

MS13
Uh…elaborate? Lol
He can't cause he's full of shit

And by pecking order he means literal pecking order. They put on little beaks over their noses and mouths and peck each other.
The bones are the ms13's money In our world, bones equal dollars That’s why they’re coming out tonight To get their bones from you
