Race for New Air Jordan Sneakers Turns Ugly at a Metro Atlanta Mall


The quest for some limited edition sneakers took an ugly turn early Friday morning outside the Mall at Stonecrest in Lithonia. DeKalb police say several people were arrested , including one woman who left two young children in her car, after the new Nike Air Jordan 11 Concords went on sale.

Hundreds of people began lining up just after midnight hours on Friday to get their hands on a pair of Nike's new $200 Michael Jordan sneakers. They were being sold at four different stores in the mall, though a limited number of pairs were available.

Apparently, some people could not wait until the mall opened its doors at 8 a.m. Police were called to the scene after a crowd of people apparently pried open the mall doors.

Police escorted most of the people back outside. At least four people were arrested in that incident. Police say more arrests could come as a result of the break-in.

I saw the stroy this morning on cable tv.

It is astounding how much money people are eager to pay for something patched together in china for maybe 1 dollar or two.

Well, just type the name of a celebrity on it and it's worth its weight in gold, I guess

It's pathetic the way they act when new basketball shoes are released. Jordan has been retired for around ten years.

Black Eye Friday: Shoppers throw punches over new Air Jordans

Dozens of police officers had to break up fights and restore order at a local mall while shoppers were waiting for an overnight sale of a popular basketball shoe.

The disturbance started inside Carolina Place Mall just after 5am. Witnesses said as mall officials opened the mall doors, crowds of people pushed their way in.

"They almost took the door off the hinges," one shopper who didn't want to be identified said, "there were women with babies in their hands and they on their backs."

Shoppers were in line waiting for the re-release of the Air Jordan XI Concord tennis shoe at Foot Locker, Finish Line and Downtown Locker Room.

Outside the Foot Locker on the second floor, witnesses said some shoppers started jumping the line, then a crowd of people at the back of the line forced their way to the front, causing several people to get angry and become unruly.

At least he DID excel at something. Look at how people like Paris Hilton cash in on simply being famous and siblings of famous parents

Were there any Ocuppiers on the scene?
