Police In Riot Gear Called to Orlando Mall For NIKE Foamposite Release
All, NIKE, Only in Florida, What the hell is wrong with people February 24th. 2012, 12:28am
People are idiots and Florida is full of crazy people. Add sneaker insanity to the mix and you end up with police in riot gear being called to an Orlando mall during the lead up to the release of some glow-in-the-dark Nikes. According to Twitter, the crowd “rushed police in riot gear.”
Mobs are one thing. Sneaker mobs are another. Nike needs to start making enough sneakers for everyone and stop releasing them at midnight. It’s not that the sneakers aren’t worth it, it’s just that they should protect people from themselves as a public service.

Check out the “Galaxy Foams” trend on Twitter. There’s some amazing stuff going on over there.

“sneaker” is a funny word. just say it out loud…sneaker…sneaker.
February 24th, 2012 at 7:33 AM

Thanks
February 24th, 2012 at 7:47 AM
your baby probably thought “sneaker” was a funny word too.
February 24th, 2012 at 8:17 AM

February 24th, 2012 at 8:17 AM
can you assholes keep it down? I finally got this fucker back to sleep, and here you are screaming sneaker over and over.
February 24th, 2012 at 8:20 AM
sneakers was a great movie.
anyone ever call them tennis shoes?
February 24th, 2012 at 8:21 AM
Reason 1,068,999 why the rest of the world hates America.
February 24th, 2012 at 8:21 AM
What the hell happened at the end of that Jeremy Lin thread from last night?
February 24th, 2012 at 8:23 AM
the generic term I use for the type of footwear in question is tennis shoes. I don’t think I’ve ever said the word “sneaker” unless it’s in the contesxt of this type of conversation.

I think some drunk lurker was hoping Ballz would emerge and show him the ropes, if you catch my meaning.
February 24th, 2012 at 8:25 AM
how much are they chargin for these things?
February 24th, 2012 at 8:25 AM

I used to think everybody called them Tennies, pronounced with an awful Texas accent. I never called them sneakers.
February 24th, 2012 at 8:25 AM
miz, my wife laughs at me for calling them tennis shoes
February 24th, 2012 at 8:26 AM
miz, my wife laughs at me for calling them tennis shoes
that’s not why she’s laughing. But she is laughing at you, that part is true.
February 24th, 2012 at 8:27 AM

i call them basketball shoes. because, you know, thats what they are.
February 24th, 2012 at 8:27 AM
i probably should have pulled up my pants
February 24th, 2012 at 8:30 AM
Is the roundup on a two hour delay like my kids school?
February 24th, 2012 at 8:31 AM
I think TBL took the Knicks loss a little hard last night.
February 24th, 2012 at 8:31 AM
ever? I still do. never “tennies” though, I leave that up to my mom.
February 24th, 2012 at 8:32 AM
Well, the thing about that is…
February 24th, 2012 at 8:33 AM
does she call them sneakers? next time she does, you should tell her to dress this way since she uses language from the era.
February 24th, 2012 at 8:34 AM
I believe the kids these days refer to them as “fire” that one “cops.” Kinda like those rap mixtapes.
February 24th, 2012 at 8:35 AM
god bless the 99%ers who bitch about unequal wealth distribution and then go drop $220 on a pair of basketball shoes.
February 24th, 2012 at 8:37 AM
I never understood why people line up at midight to buy the latest shoes, see a new movie, etc. Guess I value my sleep a lot more.

Income inequality and how people choose to spend that income are really two separate issues entirely. As professional athletes and entertainers have shown time and time again. You can go broke on 30k a year and you can go broke on 30 million a year, whether you’re a teacher or M.C. Hammer.

Before the days of online ticketing and TicketMaster, I took part in one of the last great ticket line camp outs. I was 18 and thought I was bad as hell. Great times. Anybody remember Ticket Tron?

Not really suprising, right before the holidays there were fights and riots when nike re-released the Air Jordan 11′s.
