Last month, Sole Food: For the Community, presented by The Re-Sole 206, was more than just a sneaker gathering; it was a powerful combination of footwear culture and dedicated community service. Sparked by The Re-Sole’s founder Takiyah Ward’s simple belief that her team could bring the neighborhood together around food, music, and generosity to create something meaningful for the people who need it most.

According to Takiyah, Sole Food collected over 100 pairs of sneakers. These will be restored with care at The Re-Sole 206 and delivered directly to an organization serving families who need them most. Sole Food wasn’t just an event. It was a reminder of what happens when a community shows up for each other fully, joyfully, and without hesitation, she said.
