Chaos followed the release of Nike’s Air Jordan 11 Gamma Blue sneaker on Saturday morning as fights broke out in stores across the country between customers keen to get their hands on a pair.
Each year, the highly anticipated release of a new version of limited edition Air Jordans is released and each year, a spate of robberies, assaults, riots and even deaths occur.
This year, videos and photographs from around the country depict frenzied crowds fighting in queues outside sports stores and inside shops.
One video that has surfaced shows a fight inside a Weberstown Mall shoe store in California which appears depict various separate skirmishes over the sought-after shoes.
One shirtless boy is knocked the ground and repeatedly punched while elsewhere in the store another is tackled.
In Dallas, police were called to the Southwest Center Mall after a fight broke out in the queue for the shoes.
People had begun lining up to purchase the sneakers overnight in anticipation of the shoe’s release on Saturday morning.
According to Fox Dallas, a group arrived around 6am and tried to cut to the front of the line.
In New York, shoppers in the Bronx spoke of fights, ripped clothing and police presence as shoppers, many parents trying to secure a pair of shoes for their children, waited outside Foot Locker.
A shot of the scene posted to Instagram shows a huge crowd watching as a group of girls fought before the store opened.
One shopper explained that the street cred of wearing a pair of Air Jordans made the ordeal worth it.
‘I mean, technically it’s not. But for bragging rights, it is. It is, it’s worth it for bragging rights, it is,’ she told News 12, after she explained that she’d been waiting for 12 hours to get her hands on a pair.
