Video After The Jump
You would have thought they were giving away free money judging by the long lines outside of Houston stores Thursday (December 23).
Instead people had camped out overnight to try and cop a pair of the new Air Jordan “Cool Greys.”
Police had to be called out to several locations as crowds started to get unruly. Scuffles broke out and arguments ensued as stores quickly sold out.
One man was so desperate for a pair he hid in a trash can inside a Houston mall, hoping to be the first in line.
“I was in a trash can for about an hour in the mall, trying to be the first one,” said Jumarcus Bingham. “This is the first time they’re coming back out in ten years.”
By the time Bingham got inside the store they had already sold out of his size.
Not to be deterred, Bingham made a mad dash over to another mall and finally scored a pair. But only after paying a stranger $400 for shoes that retail for $180.
It was a nice come up for the stranger, but Jumarcus was happy and didn’t care if people thought he was crazy.
“They probably do [think I’m crazy], I mean I had to get em, I support Jordans,” he said.
The Air Jordan 11 Retro Cool Grey edition shoes had not been available since 2001.
How far would you have been willing to go to grab a pair?
