In the Los Angeles Times newspaper, there is an article a riot that occurred over sneakers titled, "In Orlando, another crowd riots over ... a pair of sneakers" written by Richard Fausset. On Thursday, people rushed to Orlando's Florida Mall in high hopes of buying a a pair of $220 Nike sneakers. Hundreds of Nike fans gathered at the Foot Locker in the mall, and started a riot over the limited edition pair of sneakers. It took over 100 officers to calm things down. The public was threatened by pepper spray, although it was not used. Fortunately, no one got hurt.
Recently, in New Jersey, there was a riot over a pair of the new Air Jordans, where a customer got stabbed. The things people will do for a product is unbelievable. Not only are they hurting the person, but also themselves. Luckily, nobody was hurt in the riot last Thursday. Hopefully, the next releases will not cause a riot at a Foot Locker.
