Last post I wrote about the thousands of shoes that appeared on a Miami highway.
Thankfully, there is a very positive update. A terrific charity, Soles4Souls, offered to collect the shoes and distribute them to people in Haiti. Sneakerheads, take note. This is a charity we should look into if we want to do some good with our sneaker passion. We maintain sneaker collections, yet Soles4Souls estimates that 300 Million people around the world don’t own a pair of shoes.
For more on why Soles4Souls was created and what they have accomplished, check out this video:
If that doesn’t get you in the giving spirit, perhaps this video will.
Now if you’re in the helping spirit and are looking for ways to assist, Soles4Souls offers these suggestions.
