The four-day exhibition uses the format of a limited-edition release to show what children can miss when they lack shoes that fit.
Soles4Souls is borrowing the visual language of a sneaker drop for a four-day Nashville installation. The Shoe That Costs the Most puts worn footwear on display to ask what happens when a child goes without shoes that fit. The nonprofit uses the exhibition to draw attention to everyday consequences, including barriers to taking part in school and sports.
The installation marks the Nashville-based nonprofit’s 20th anniversary and highlights 4EveryKid, its programme that works with schools across the US to provide new athletic shoes to children experiencing homelessness or hardship. Soles4Souls says the programme has distributed more than 800,000 pairs nationwide.
The installation is open to the public at 2500 12th Ave. S. in Nashville. It runs from noon to 8 p.m. on 12–14 November and noon to 6 p.m. on 15 November, local time.
