When I was in junior high we had a guest speaker at an assembly, and he said that people threw the shoes up there to let people know that drugs are sold in the neighborhood. So, since then I've always assumed that's what it means.

I've heard that it's gang-related, too.

Different colour shoes are apparently supposed to tell you what kind of drugs are being sold near by

Then why and how?

I was told it shows a gang's territory and you get them up there by just throwing them.

...I always thought it meant that some ass threw some poor kid's shoes on the wires.
