The trainers are equipped with a compass, light, map and painkillers
The artist was commissioned by a cross-border arts exhibition called inSite to develop a project that “intervened” in some aspect of border life.
They have a flag of Mexico and a portrait of the patron saint of travelers.
While the sneakers sell for $215, they are made in China for $17.
