Someone got carried away here though.

That's not even a suprising thing in Brooklyn, Bronx, or Queens.

Yeh but why??

Some of the shoes, especially the trainers seem to be in good condition, why sling em out the window?

And on country roads or remote motorways, whats the point of throwing a shoe out the window?

Maybe they were abducted by alienssmile(:

Depends.

In the city (NY) it was used as a message. It would tell us "Crack" house near. That or a gangs territory.

Either or I viewed it as "watch the **** out".

Shoes hung like that usually indicate that a gang is in the area. Shoes (God knows why) are put there as a warning.

Don't know if you have this happen in the States, is all. smile
