Shoeless Ones
The Shoeless Ones is a youth-led initiative that collects and redistributes gently used athletic shoes to underserved communities in the United States and Nigeria. Inspired by the contrast between children playing soccer barefoot and the unused shoes many athletes accumulate, the project works to reduce waste while expanding access to sports.

By partnering with local businesses and communities to collect and distribute shoes, The Shoeless Ones helps ensure that young athletes have the resources they need to participate safely and confidently. Through this work, we hope to promote sustainability, increase access to sports, and empower youth to pursue their passions without barriers.
