21st Century Fox Posted 24 February 2012 Posted 24 February 2012 Associated Press= Sneaker fanatics who lined up outside stores overnight for a first crack at a new outer-space themed Nike basketball shoe have become so unruly in some cities that police have been called to restore order. More than 100 deputies in riot gear quelled a crowd in Orlando, Fla., where the Friday release of the $220 Foamposite Galaxy coincides with this weekend's NBA All-Star Game. In at a mall in Hyattsville, Md., one person was arrested for disorderly conduct. Malls in Florida, New York and Maryland reported bringing in police to manage fans clamoring for the purple and blue shoes, which have star-like flecks of white. Some shoppers lucky enough to get their hands on a pair immediately posted them for sale on eBay at skyrocketing prices: $1,000 and up.

I am Rod Hull Posted 24 February 2012 Posted 24 February 2012 They look like something from the bargain shelf in TK Maxx, £5 and something that only our Albanian guests would look at.....
ajthefox Posted 24 February 2012 Posted 24 February 2012 I think they look alright but I'd never wear them. Ridiculous money too.
Yojoe36 Posted 24 February 2012 Posted 24 February 2012 Only in America would you hear this kind of story...

HEGGSY Posted 24 February 2012 Posted 24 February 2012 Jesus Wept. Americans (some not all) are oblivious to things that really matter. It's a shoe FFS...and a fvcking ugly one at that.
ajthefox Posted 24 February 2012 Posted 24 February 2012 What the fvck!..... I think I'd look stupid in them and as I said I wouldn't buy them but yeah, in that picture there I think they look quite nice.

ronnup Posted 24 February 2012 Posted 24 February 2012 Surely it's Charles Bukowski, not Bukowsk. ...that's not important is it..... Er...
Tielemans63 Posted 24 February 2012 Posted 24 February 2012 "one person was arrested for disorderly conduct..." Wow. Frenetic.
Rincewind Posted 25 February 2012 Posted 25 February 2012 They look a bit tatty like the £10 ones that I throw away after six months.
