Road Shoes: PAIR

The first set lost together!

This pair of Nike's was found on Sunday March 7th, 2010 at 47th and University Way - just out that spectacular store: Gargoyles. Not such a surprising location to find random crap along the street.

Road Shoes: Wedge

This lovely lady's wedge was found on Bellevue and Mercer on Capitol Hill late-ish Saturday night - March 6th, 2010. Clearly some drunk bitty was walking home barefoot the night this gem went missing.

Road Shoes: Scared

Second Submission by Halli Thiel! She was on a hot streak folks!

Found on March 2nd, 2010 at Third & Cherry in Pioneer Square.

From the homeless dude who witnessed Halli's jumping out of car-to-photograph-this-road-shoe antics: "homie was so scared he jumped out of his socks and shoes yo."

Awesome!

Road Shoes: Flats

I saw this little Ballerina Flat on my way home from rehearsal this morning: 02/21/10 Northbound on I5 at the Seneca Street Exit Number 165. Someone lost a whole dresser full of shit at this exit.

I only had an hour before my next rehearsal, so I didn't turn around to get it, but when I was done at 5 I went back for it. On my way I found TWO more Road Shoes and chickened out getting one because there is no shoulder where the shoe is currently and stopped to get the other one but couldn't find it, it was getting dark and I only had my iPhone. I am going back tomorrow to find them both. This one appears to be on the smaller side and possibly teener.

Road Shoes: CHUCK

Found: One BRAND SPANKING NEW Black Upper, Black Toe, Black Laced, GUM SOLE Converse Chuck Taylor on 02/16/10 at 19th and Aloha on Capitol Hill. This looks to be a custom jobby (though I could be behind on my Chuckies) and whoever lost this one is sad.

When I saw it, I parked like a jackass, started taking photos and giggling and it made me late to what could only be thought of as a blind date.

Road Shoes: Jordan

I visited my friend Lauren in Oakland for Valentine's Day this year and we spent a lot of time at our most favorite bar ever: The Layover. So much time that come Friday night - 02/12/10, I was dragging major ass and as I learned in NYC the previous week, the best idea before you go out drinking is ESPRESSO. Lucky for me, Oaksterdam - that special kind of coffee shop - was just around the corner from The Layover, but had sadly shut down their espresso machine 5 minutes before Lauren and I arrived.

On our way back we found this in the street about a half a block up from the bar - at 17th and Franklin. All the espresso I ever needed. I think I can discern the Air Jordan mid-air man on the back of the shoe, but on the bottom, it could be in Greek for all I can tell. What the hell does ZD303CL even mean? It looks teenaged, that's for sure.

Road Shoes: NIKE

Super score! Teener Nike hi-top found in Greenlake on my way to rehearsal tonight. I was just past my old apartment at Weedin, 8th and 66th, but can't remember which street swoops under I5.

I saw it, squealed, turned the car around and parked it (sort of) just in time for two cops to pass when I was standing in the middle of the street in my striped dance pants trying to get the super sweet sneak with my telephone.

The cops didn't inquire why I wasn't parked properly or in the middle of the street. Clearly they appreciate a good Road Shoe too.
