This pair of sneakers was custom designed by artist-activist Judi Werthein especially for migrant workers crossing the border between Mexico and the U.S. The symbol of the Mexican eagle is sewn onto the side of each shoe and the American eagle engraved on the quarter dollar is sewn onto the toe. The shoe's insole is printed with a map of the border region and a compass and mini-flashlight allow the wearer to navigate the terrain night and day. A small pocket in the front of the shoe contains a phone number for the migrant to call upon arrival in the US. Every pair of these useful multiples is embroidered with a full disclosure of their manufacturing conditions: "this product was manufactured in China under a minimum wage of $42 US a month working 12 hour days.""
I just ordered a pair of 11's! LOL
