These kicks were created for a huge fan of Annie Proulx and of most things Country. From images of the Brokeback Mountain sweethearts standing on the mountain on which they first fell in love, to images of the postcards that the men exchanged, right down to the image of their Ford pick-up truck winding up the road that they travelled as they revisited their hideaway, every significant moment in the long love affair between Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist is captured in magnificent detail on this shoe. Look closely at the back of both sneakers and you’ll notice that the pattern of their checked shirts is reflected, along with metal studs, to further reinforce the rodeo lives of the Wyoming men. As a final desolate touch, an empty bronze heart locket was tied with twine to the kicks, leaving room for a sweetheart’s image to be inserted and carried wherever the shoes roam.
