Originally it meant that you lost your virginity (pre-40s, per my Grandfather many years ago) or, in some neighborhoods that you *could* lose your virginity here (aka here there be hookers). Later the military adopted it by throwing your Basic Training boots over your hometown wires (again, signifying a coming of age of sorts).
Now,. apparently it’s been conscripted by neighborhood thugs to means quite a few different things, commonly "sex and/or drugs here"

Uh oh – Mr Mumpower will have a hissy fit over this one, since shoes on a wire are supposed to mean drug dealing in the area. At least that’s the (maybe urban) legend. But I like to think of it as Ashvegas Art.

I grew up with shoes on a wire indicating a retirement from the armed services.
