If The Shoe Fits

Young fellow sitting in a chair outside of his mother's food stall on Zhang Guancun Avenue in the Haidian District of Beijing. Horns are honking and traffic is whizzing by, but this little guy is completely focused on lacing up the sneaker. I wonder if he put it on after I left? [NOTE: Zhang Guancun Avenue runs in front of Minzu University of China, my collaborators on the Guizhou project (see Miao Landscape)].
