Designer giving shoes to illegal migrants,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
SAN DIEGO -- The high-top sneakers cost $215 at a San Diego boutique, but the designer is giving them away to migrants before they cross to this side of the US-Mexico border.
These are no ordinary shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. A compass and flashlight dangle from one shoelace. The pocket in the tongue is for money or pain relievers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. A rough map of the border region is printed on a removable insole.
On this side of the border, the shoes sit in art collections or the closets of well-heeled sneaker connoisseurs. On the other side,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in Tijuana, it's a utilitarian affair: Immigrants-to-be are happy to have the sturdy, lightweight shoes for the hike -- or dash -- into the United States.
Their designer is Judi Werthein, an Argentine artist who moved to New York in 1997 -- legally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she notes.
On a recent evening in Tijuana,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], after giving away 50 pairs at a migrant shelter, Werthein waved the insole and pointed to Interstate 8, the main road between San Diego and Phoenix. ''This blue line is where you want to go,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Werthein, 38, said in Spanish.
''Good luck! You're all very courageous," she told the cheering crowd of about 50 men huddled in a recreation room after dinner.
''God bless you,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!" several cried back.
Werthein has concluded that shoes are a border crosser's most important garment. ''The main problem that people have when they're crossing is their feet," she said. ''If people are going to cross anyway, at least this will make it safer."
Only 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 pairs of the ''Brinco" sneakers (it means ''Jump" in Spanish) have been made -- in China, for $17 each. The shoes were introduced in August at inSite,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an art exhibition in San Diego and Tijuana whose sponsors include nonprofit foundations and private collectors.
Benefactors put up $40,000 for the project; Werthein gets a $5,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 stipend, plus expenses.
Some say Werthein is encouraging illegal immigration -- but she rejects the criticism, saying people will cross with or without her shoes.
Across the border,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], several curious migrants waiting for sunset along a cement river basin approached Werthein as she took white shoe boxes out of a sport utility vehicle.
One man already wore a dirty pair of Brincos. Another,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Felipe de Jesus Olivar Canto,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], slipped into a size 11 and said he would use them instead of his black leather shoes.
''These are much more comfortable for hiking," said Olivar Canto. He said he was heading for $6.75-an-hour work installing doors and windows in Santa Ana,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], about 90 miles north of the border.相关的主题文章：
