Brinco: "Jump"

Judi Werthein has created a high-top tennis shoe - a "crossing trainer" to help illegal immigrants cross the Mexio-US border.  The project originated through a cross-border arts exhibition called inSite, who commissioned Judi Werthein to design them.  The shoe is designed with a compass, flashlight, a map (on the sole) and Tylenol, all built-in, to help in any tricky situations.  Werthein has distributed them to many migrants planning to cross the border illegally, but if you want to buy a pair, you'll have to shell out $215.00 to get them out from under the glass display case in the San Diego shoe boutique, Blends.

"Werthein dismisses complaints that she is aiding and abetting illegal immigrants.  She argues she is just provoking an important discussion."
