My old friends, a very faithful and abuse-tolerant pair of trainers. When it comes down to it, walking is the base form of transportation.
Cropped a little, pulled the saturation on the blues up by 40 to bring out a bit of our old carpet's colour, pulled the saturation on the yellow channel down by 100, moved its brightness up 50. And they still look a complete mess :)

This is a very creative idea you got here.
You also found a great title, which is more important than what we usually think...
The exposure is pretty good for a picture taken with flash (I guess).
But to make this an interesting picture I think you should have tried different angles and different lightings. And what about black and white? The color doesn't add anything at all here. To take a picture of a very dull subject is totally OK, but then you have to be very creative in the way you take the picture. For example the "above" angle you chose for me doesn't convey the idea of transportation. It makes those shoes very static instead. Same thing for showing them alone: we all know shoes don't move by themselves...
So to summarize: great creative idea, but the pic you took kind of fails at conveying the original theme.
good theme, a bit bland in interest level, .... suggestion: put the heel of one sneaker onto the other to form a geometric shape.. and/or take from a different angle.
I like your idea but I'm just not sure filthy sneakers make a very interesting photo. You almost need something else in the picture. Maybe place them outside for better lighting and background perhaps.
