Sneaker Nerd: Sole Man Keeps Homeless Laced In Sneakers via Sole Collector

Andre McDonnell loves sneakers and also loves helping the homeless.


“There’s tons of people that want to help the homeless,” said Andre McDonnell standing in front of New York City’s Port Authority Bus Terminal. “But, they don’t want to deal with the homeless.” 

It’s 11 a.m. and McDonnell is armed with a 36” rolling duffel bag that’s filled with sneakers. His mission for the rest of the afternoon: find homeless people in the streets and inside the bus station to give them to.

“I don’t want to do soup kitchens,” he says. “I love sneakers. We want to take the sneaker culture and utilize it in a positive way.”
