I kinda got bored with the Middle Eastern Shoe Art Renaissance™ and didn't pay attention for a few days, but this one really is too good to let pass. The American Flag Chuck Taylor is an excellent touch, calling to mind Jasper Johns' flag paintings, but the rest is pure abstract expressionism in the vein of Franz Kline or Jackson Pollock. Great image!

The sneaker has the Puerto Rican flag on it rather than the US flag. Just sayin'
A person would have to be pretty pissed to give up a vintage Chuck Taylor for the cause.
yep, Puerto Rico. At first I thought TX (close), then Cuba (Closer, still no cigar... so to speak), but yep, Terry gots it right.
Delish, though. Love the red.
Love that it's on the rough cobblestone streets too. So gritty and realistic.
