    You believe that when I picked up my pair, the dude told me to watch my back!!!!!! I WISH A N**%$@ WOULD STEP TO THE CONNOISSEUR on some ‘GIMME YOUR SNEAKERS’. I would be like……………… “YOU CAN HAVE ‘EM, BUT CAN I GET ONE WEAR OUT OF ‘EM BEFORE YOU JACK ME?????…LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL… There’s no way I’m getting beat up by some THUGS or robbed at GUN or KNIFE point for some rubber and patent leather….

  3. F3l!Fr3$h says:

    blessed to get mines just one pair but its ok…..but really CMON SON!! people need to stop acting like animals and act civiliazed…also agree with other comments about ignorance this type of stuff shouldnt happen just over a pair of sneakers.

  4. R E E says:

    damn jr_lyon…EUTHANIZED for some SHOES, huh?
    I’d hate to know what punishment you think Michael Vick SHOULD’VE got. lmao

  5. kailey says:

    yo im not really a sneakerhead, but I really enjoy this website because I find it interesting…what I really find weird is that sneakerheads have huge collection of shoes than non-sneaker heads and some camp out for some shoes, and put them in a plastic box and never wear them to preserve them- but looking as these comments is weird because everybody is saying that people are crazy breaking in footlocker

  6. Converse King says:

    Since this happened at Footlocker, the store employees should have pulled out their whistles and said foul, offense, roughing the receiver, automatic jail time!

  7. First Off F*U@K Footlocker Last Night I called They told me they had 3 pairs of 13′s I wake up at 4 in the morning to Camp of course I was First in Line they opened at 8 told me no 13′s Im Like WTF!!
    Had to Literally Damn Near Fly over to The NIke Store at Lenox Mall to scoop a pair which I wish somebody would of told me that they got damn near 100 pair no line and they had the big sizes shout out trudy over there at the NIke Store they get Ish Right Thanks alot Footlocker ( Please to that manager over there at Cumberland Go FU*k Your self!!)

  8. RSTFLYY says:

    I live in Vegas, fashion show was chill I got my pair.
    I went to boulevard mall with the other homies tht didn’t cop em.
    Went at three, got out the car started a line first three but people been there since 7 yesterday but they was dodging security.
    Line grew then dude was inside the mall good lookin out but doors didn’t open. They found a huge truck unloading to a side door. We was in the back hall way then two dudes ran back security caught us. Told us to leave over 20 people strong said NO he started talking on the speker and other bs. We hears sirens we thught it was just ambulance but cops actually came…

    I hate the hype fuck hype beast ignorrant mafakas killin it for us. Camping outbid fun with the friends but chaos is unecesary. Footlocker and other stores need a better organization.
    It’s funny we have shot a person for kicks in a while but they feel like it just for waiting for hours.

    People go crazy for shoes that doesn’t have good quality
    can some one tell me why ogs are better material but we in the 2000s wth bad quality retros and big advances an technology.

    Fck who ever making the decisions for material and releases.
    Fuck gentry humphry.

    Tinker don’t let yur designs go to waste with low quality
    fuck hype and greed.

    If y’all don’t agree with me y’all a hypebeast
    cause we all got robbed last night paying more for low quality shit.

But damn jordan u can put out ah lil mo supply cuz ppl was hypin them up more den dey did den any otha shoe ican rememba..

  13. macabrecrown666 says:

    the funny thing is that the internet is LITTERED with space jams, people are acting like these are a goddamn hyperstrike release.

  14. AJ23CT says:

    Merry Christmas all!

    Yes i have to say i am very shocked with this years release.
    And this country is in a RECESSION?????? MY F%#KING A**!!!!!!!!!
    What pi**es me off is there was no limit set from JB for this release and people could cop as many pairs as they wanted.

    I know everyone is trying to get their grind and make $$$$ i get it, but don’t f%#king ruin it for the collectors that have been supportive of Jordans and collecting since the 80s! Do you really need to buy 5 pairs???? Get a D*mn job!!! Some of you kids dont even have a clue what it was like growing up with Jordan playing in the NBA. Im 33 and still a fan and collect Js. I live in the Tri-state area and good luck trying to find this shoe in adult sizes in any store…NOT going to Happen!!!
    I wanted to get these for the $174 but its not gonna happen. If you want these bad now you will have to pay some schmuck $300+ for these on the streets, craigslist, ebay etc.that they just bought today for the $174.
    Greedy b*stards…..

    Wow this pic shows how ignorant some of you kids are!! Get a education ,learn the value of actually working hard for money.
    There is no reason to try and pimp out f*&king sneakers!!!!!

    Happy Holidays

  15. drog says:

    wow! got mine a week in advance to escape the madness

  16. Deznutz says:

  17. Reed says:

    Hell yea was a riot at tricounty, I managed to get 5 pair my self tho. people were goin nuts that there sizes sold so I picked up one of mine and the rest that no one was in line for. stood outside for 9 hours in the snow.

  18. CeeDaddy says:

  19. Jarvo says:

    Damn Yall Some Die Hard Jordan Fans!!!! But Like iSaid Them Sum EPIC ass Shoes!!!! Ppl Get Em Jus To Sale Em Fa Mo 0n The Web Its Ah Dog Eat Dog World.. Wit Yall Husslin Ass!!

  20. El Chupa Negro says:

    honestly Mike could give two shits about if we get locked up fighting for sneakers. People shouldn’t take the culture to these extremes. Shit isn’t a good idea because at the end of the day 175 dollars is not worth 10 years of your life

  21. atgbryan says:

    people are scumbags point blank end of story

  22. HR says:

    5 years later some1 is gonna make a documentary about the Jordan shoe game.. Jordan has the biggest impact on culture and history. Luckly I havent heard any1 getting robbed or shot over the Space Jams… I was the unlucky people that ordered online and got the email from Champs that it didnt go through. You find every1 from internet crashing and employees buying almost the whole stock of the shoes before it come out. I know how yall feelin right now. Im still p*st off right now but its gonna bite Jordan, Footlocker, Footaction, etc stores asses if they keep this sh*t up. 1 day some1 is gonna sue if some1 get kill over this and the big time stores and Jordan are not gonna do jack sh*t about it. And store managers and employees reading this, dont f*ck this up for the real jordan and sneakerheads waitin outside wastin 4 hours of their lives.

  23. Jarvo says:

    ^^^ HR iFeel Fa Ya & Jordan & The Company Should Do Sumthin Bout It Cux Its Unfair Ppl Wait & Waste Their Time Waitin In Line Fa Shoes That Are Gonna B Sold 0ut.. Wat Dey Should Do Is Give Everyone Ah Equal Shot 0f Gettin The Shoe.. Like Gettin There Name & Numba & Lettin Dem Kno Wen Ah Restock Is Comin.. Cuz Ppl Got They Heartbroke Today Wen They Found 0ut They Were Sold-0ut…

  24. Adam23 says:

    thats exactly what they did at my mall. well the workers were teasing us when we are out in the cold .they were knoking on the doors and opening and closing the doors,so the next time they did that all these doods just blew the door down. haha

  25. kidfreshjose says:

    I heard that the folks over at cumberland got shut down by nike officials for selling the shoes early… I’m guessing that’s why your 13 wasn’t there, they probably sold it after you called them.

  26. EastSav912Gee says:

    mann fck all dat shit bout wat dey did was wrong!!!!
    dey wanted da kicks obviously< dey was stand in da cold for hrs waitin on em and den da dicks gon say dey gotta dip….man i prolly woulda did da same! it wasnt bout da kicks it was da principal of it!!!

  27. Converse King says:

    Finishline set the limit for Space Jams at 5. 5?! How about two at the most? Completely idiotic. They wanted the hypebeasts to ruin it for the rest of us.

  28. dtlr @ southlake still gottem lol you people better hurry up

  29. MelloYelloMD says:

    I heard someone got stabbed for these in two places in DC/MD. Wheaton Plaza and U Street somewhere…no confirmation tho. CRAZY!

  30. Kenny says:

    Damn this sh*t is crazy… I’m glad I got my pair about a month and a 1/2 ago from footalog.com. Paying $300 was a lot easier then me goin out & having to deal w/ this b.s.

  31. CenValCali says:

    No way am I tryin to put my own Golden State down, but this is somethin hooligans would do in the Bay all the way to L.A. Get a group of muthaf*#kas that been out all night long gettin twisted & tell em you don’t have any sneakers for em in the break of dawn….this is the result. Dudes don’t know how to act then take their anger & frustration on small businesses, Moms & Pops, etc.

  32. juex101 says:

    i waited in line since 1 am til 10 am and ppl were crying to skip me(no u read it right not trying but crying to skip me) they only had one pair per size and fortunately i was 4th in line and got my 9.5 right here nice and snuggz but the above picture is really ridiculous real talk brooklyn stand up

  33. DC DunKing says:

    I criticized Major in DC because they were selling them at midnight with a hat for $225. Several footlockers across DC, MD & VA where selling them at midnight to everyone who knew. Most people didn’t and unfortunately these type of incident happened everywhere. Now everyone in teh city will be scared to wear them, AND FOR WHAT!? Although I’m a Air Jordan 12 fan myself, i wanted to get the shoes but not for over $200. I wear all my sneakers, even my Grammy Dunks and all my SBs. But if i have to worry about my safety, its not worth it!
    I chose Nike Dunks when I was in 7th grade because they where not popular and nothing special. After over 300 pair of various shoes, from Nike, Reebok, Jordan, Vans, IPath, Adidas, Circa, and a few others — i THINK i MAY BE DONE TOO.
    Its no way to defend someone who spends salary type money on sneakers. I used to and today will be the last – I wonder what MJs will say if anything?

  34. 1_Sn3aker_H0lic says:

    There really is no excuse for that! Angry or not, destroying a store gets you nowhere. SMDH…

  35. greg street says:

    some of these guys got caught, karma is a b!tch. bad comes by 10 X’s just like good does. come out to the space jam release party tonight at utopia 840 mareitta st (at northside drive) doors open at 10pm, imma give away a pair, maybe 2. sneaker friends 09

  36. MelloYelloMD says:

    I heard San Diego or San Fran made the news too off the Space Jam release.

    @DC DunKing I woulda been blown too if they MADE you buy the hat too, but hell everyone who did a midnight release was taxing. Athlete’s Foot here got me for $200 a pair (last night and this morning) but DTLR had em for the $175.

  37. CenValCali says:

    $260 on the resell for the Space Jams I just copped….oh well, much better than the rape price of $350 or so.

  38. gotjordans? says:

    I live near S.F. in CA, and the Space Jams made the local news.
    Serramonte and Southland Malls were on TV, and some ppl in line were interviewed… that was trippy…! ITS GOTTA BE THE SHOES!

  39. Converse King says:

    I paid 290 CenValCali, it’ll be worth it. I’m gonna tear ‘em up for all the sneakerheads who couldn’t get their hands on a pair.

  40. CenValCali says:

    Converse King, dude I got screwed….bigtime by FTA.com – f*#ken bastards. I shoulda took pre-caution & went to the mall just in case. Had I done that, I would’ve been a happy camper. The reseller I copped from wanted more $$$$….I’m like bro, 260 is what I could cop em for overseas….

  41. CenValCali says:

    ….& I’m right behind ya….prolly break the SJ XI’s out when me & my wifey renew our vows. LOL!!

  42. 24over23 says:

    I live in ny and I was watchin how the shit works last night damn employees grabbed all me and my peoples size had us wait on line for 4 fuckin hours and didn’t give us what we want, we still copped early in da mornin with like no wait. But I say some of these major corporations deserve a kick in the rear and this was perfect

  43. cuda says:

    Its a civil war out there. On 1 side its black people and on the other side is niggas. The niggas have GOT TO GO!!

    Chris Rock

  44. I still got a 8 and 8.5 left at foot Locker Campbelton Rd. after I serviced a nice line of sneakerheads this morning. Those dumb ass kids broke into my store the other night and walked right past the Space Jams, the new Half Cents, and the Chris Pauls that come out in january. Nice smas and grab. Lol. They didn’t get no heat. Ha Ha!

    Greenbriar in getting 27 more pair in the morning for those that missed out or want more.

    Check with me Im connected, I got that info for yo ass.

  45. sani says:

    does anyone know if they will be a restock(im hoping for one but i doubt it) most of da stores in da bk was sold out quick……..checked almost everywhere

  46. Chas says:

    yeah i understand where ya’ll are coming from BUT if they know this shoe would cause a riot.. then Jordan brand should F*ckin make a shitload of these kciks then not limited. tho i got my pair its sad to see others have not any

  47. jonesboyOG says:

    this is just the thing 2 send a shoe of this caliber back 2 quickstrike status…
    i liked that it was obtainable at a regular store like the old dayz

  48. Well this morning was crazy as soon as I got to the mall people started running! So I ran to and then the cops came and they said we had to leave but no one left. People were running to the door and then getting moved back to the street. I was fifth in
    line lucky me and I dident even get the sizes I wanted some random dude asked to talked to the head person and let him cut me I was so mad but at the sametime laughing poor guy had fake inferred sixes ha! Then he takes the pair I needed my 11’5 so I had to get one 12 and 11’5. Before this the line wasent even a line it was a circle and people were all on each other no space at all. Dudes at the front were asking for 2 bills to get the spaces jams for those in the back. At least the cops came and made us start an other line. One I got to finishline the guy behind me was saying he was going to put his up on crigslist and I was like wow who are u? And that’s not even the worst part the people that worked there got first grabs and bought just about all of them so my nigga did even get his!
