How many pairs of unused shoes do you have kicking it in your closet? According to the fine folks behind this Friday’s Accessories in Action event at 111 Minna, Americans have some 1.5 billion unwanted pairs gathering dust in their homes.

A better place for them? With Soles4Souls, a non-profit organization that recycled secondhand shoes by giving them to people in need.

Bring a pair with you to this 21+ shopping fundraiser as you make the retail rounds on Black Friday, and you’ll get in the door for less ($5 instead of $8). Perhaps even more spectacular, we hear nothing at the event costs more than $100. On offer will be accessories from jewelry and bags to hats and belts, all by local independent designers.
