Shoe tossing or Shoe flinging. Different names and a number of explanations have been proposed as to why this is done.
– A practical joke played on drunkards.
– To advertise a local cocaine/heroine house, or to symbolise that once you take heroin you can never ‘leave’.
– A way of marking gang turf.
– Maybe members of the military, throwing their military boots at overhead wires as a part of a rite on leaving the service.
Or this might be just a new street’s art exhibition!
Who knows?!
