Parra x Patta Air Max 1 Footlocker Hoax

| March 22, 2010 | Comments (39)

Over the weekend, news quickly spread about the Parra x Patta Nike Air Max 1 being available at Foot Locker stores in Europe. As you can imagine, this brought hope to everyone overseas that wasn’t able to score a pair from Patta, Nike 1948, and colette. However, we have learned that this was a hoax started by a Foot Locker employee. The person that started this rumor put a lot of thought into this joke, but it’s possible that they might be in serious trouble.

How do you feel about this hoax?

    I am sure this will spark some other ideas for shoe-related pranks.

  10. Meh, I wasn’t interested in this shoe to start with. I’m sure that if someone thought this little prank was stupid enough, the guy would lose his job, and that’s good enough for me.

  35. Phly Guy says:

    Yo G-Roc I heard that Wish got em the other day & no one knew about it until they randomly went to the store.. Kinda like how it went down at 21 Mercer

  36. TC Da Heat Holder aka Black Dynamite says:

    Yeah, that’s funny! Not as funny as Butta Cups asking for help coppin’ some kicks. Then thinking he had them on Deck! And of course come crawling back for help from TeamATL!!! I’m glad Butta Cups wears a 13US. Just know this when you look around for that 13 and everybody tells you no dice….chances are that I’m sitting 2 deep. Keep flapping ya gums.I will make it my mission to Toe Tag your so-called kick game.

    No Smiles Over Here…

  37. Sneaker pranks ain’t funny!!! Boys Town hotlines were flooded with hypebeast that needed to be talked off that ledge!!! Leave it to TC to go in! LOL! I did sense some sneak dissin’ too though. It’s all luv though. There’ll be a release that they’ll be willing camp for and they won’t get a look at it in person. Then guess who they gonna look to for the resale… TeamATL!!! HeatHolderz!!! AGS!!!

  38. son of solo says:

    Kinda funny i guess, i bet the only people really pissed of were the resellers that i can imagine virtually dropped everything on hearing the news and fled to their town center looking for these LOL.
    but seriously i cant belive that many true AM1 fans actually crave these ! if this was a colourway in FL they would end up on the sale rack ! the worst colourway on the whole release.
    you need to look deeper and beyond the hype..
    peace
