LeBron James Sneaker Sparks Crowds And Riot Police In Orlando WATCH,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Nevermind LINsanity, Miami's Lebron James is inspiring a craze of a different kind. Thursday at midnight,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Nike released two coveted limited edition kicks: the LeBron 9 and the Foamposite Galaxy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], both commemorating this weekend's NBA All-Star Game in Orlando. Crowds at one Florida store were so intense,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], riot police were called.
Sneakerheads in Orlando were asked to wait across the street from a local Foot Locker. When one person rushed towards the store, hundreds followed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], reports the Orlando Sentinel.
The sudden stampede prompted the Sheriff's Office to send in mounted cops, a helicopter, and police in full riot gear. At one point,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they threatened to use pepper spray on the rowdy crowd. The sneaker release was canceled.
Orlando's The Daily City cites poor-planning:
All of this was required at last night's Nike shoe release at Foot Locker in Florida Mall. Why? In our own opinion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], poor planning. Nike and Foot Locker should have handed out passes to the first 200 people and called it a day. But no. They let 1,200 people form a line waiting for 200 pairs of shoes.
Nike and Foot Locker need to pay back the City of Orlando for all of this police coverage for their event,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Orlando should not have to pay for it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]; they should,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Shame on Nike and Foot Locker for poor organizing of what should have been a very fun event.
Down in Miami, 75 to 100 people lined up peacefully at the House of Hoops store at Dadeland Mall,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hungry for one of the 16 pairs in stock.
Although the new Nike kicks retail for $220,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], WSVN 7 spoke with one sneaker fan who's seen them online for upwards of $2,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],400.
The LeBron 9 Galaxy Big Bang is a bright orange and red sneaker with a glow-in-the-dark sole. King James will don the mango-hued shoes himself for the NBA All-Star Game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The Nike Foamposite One Galaxy is wrapped in starry skies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which also glow in the dark.
According to their release, Nike intended the astronomy theme to be a nod to Orlando and Florida's space industry -- nevermind that Florida's Space Coast has been quiet since NASA shut down the space shuttle program in Summer 2011.
