I've never seen something like this in europe....

it has two meanings, depending on what hood your in. 

1st, someone has dope on the block.

2nd, someone died, and they put their shoes up to remember them. 

lmao i never understood this shit

[Elano]

its truthfully some ghetto gutter shit only a few of us know about, after you kill an enemy you throw his shoes on the line for everyone else sees, dates back to some lynching pirate lore, real hood stuff

wow

[Dubz]

ive always been told its a drug thing.

[herpes]

there are so many rumors why people do it.  It just became a thing to do after a while.  I've seen lines with 20 pairs of sneakers on there and the power line dropping down like 10 feet.  I still throw my old beat up kicks on power lines.

Never heard that before, lol.

Drugs man drugs.

I can't stand that shit neither becuz niggas throw Jordans up there. Like yo, why do that for. I watched this nigga from CL&P try to get a pair off before. It was the funniest shit. This cat actually sat there and twisted the sneakers and watched them go around and around until they was untangled. He was so careful, I don't know, it was funny though.
