Sidewalk cobblers craft and repair sandals on a Shendam street

Two young men are seen working on sandals outdoors. The man on the left, wearing a yellow and purple basketball jersey, is seated on the ground and appears to be cutting material with a tool. In front of him are sheets of material and what looks like a shoe last. To his right, a wooden stand holds tools and partially assembled sandals. The second man, on the right, is standing and wearing a blue t-shirt and patterned pants. He is holding a piece of white material and appears to be examining or manipulating it. Scattered around him are more white materials and tools. The background shows a yellow wall and a corrugated metal door. Several pairs of finished silver sandals are neatly arranged on the ground to the left and right of the men. The ground is concrete, with some debris and a green bag visible. The overall impression is of an outdoor workshop where sandals are being made.

In Shendam, Nigeria, a young boy is crouched on an asphalt road, dressed in a grey robe. He is surrounded by several small, flat, grey rectangular objects, some of which are arranged in a line before him. To his right, a stack of similar grey objects, possibly shoe soles or insoles, lies on the ground. Near the boy, there is a white plastic bag and a crumpled blue and white packet. In the foreground, a straw hat with a red trim is positioned on the left. Next to the hat, a pair of red flip-flops is visible, along with a black shoe with yellow accents. The background shows the continuation of the asphalt road, with a shadow cast from an unseen object.

The image depicts a street scene in Shendam, Nigeria, focusing on individuals engaged in what appears to be a shoe-repair or craft activity. In the foreground, a young boy wearing a lime green t-shirt and a straw hat is looking towards the camera. To his left, an adult male in a blue t-shirt and patterned trousers is bending over, seemingly working on something on a raised concrete surface. Another young person in a light gray garment sits to the right of the man, observing. The environment includes a dusty road surface, a concrete curb, and various objects related to the activity, such as cut pieces of material resembling leather or rubber, a plastic bag, a bottle with a yellowish liquid, and a pair of black athletic shoes. The overall impression is of a community setting where informal trade or repair work is taking place outdoors.

Three men are engaged in shoemaking outside a building with a yellow, weathered wall and a grey, corrugated metal shutter. The man on the left, wearing a grey polo shirt with a "Dangote Cement" logo and blue jeans, is holding a shoe on his lap, examining it. He wears a black sandal on his right foot. In the center, a man in a yellow Los Angeles Lakers jersey and black shorts is cutting a piece of black material with a pen or stylus. He is barefoot. The man on the right, wearing a blue t-shirt and patterned trousers, is holding white paper templates and scissors, actively cutting. He wears brown sandals. In front of the men are scattered pieces of black and white material, some appearing to be shoe soles and templates. A wooden stool is placed between the central and right figures, holding more white templates. A bright turquoise plastic bag with graphics, possibly depicting Spider-Man, lies on the ground. A yellow-green plastic-wrapped package is also on the ground. The ground is concrete, cracked in places, with dirt and debris. The scene appears to be a street-level workshop in Shendam, Nigeria.
