Fights Break Out Across America Over Latest Air Jordans Release
There was a time in America when retail brawls only broke out around Thanksgiving dinner time (and increasingly earlier with every passing year). It appears that's no longer the case as the recent release of the Air Jordan 11s reveals. USA Today reports that following the release of Jordan 11 Retro Gamma Blue sneakers on Saturday, "the nation just about fell apart." One week ago, a crowd tore down a mall door just to get an advance ticket to buy the $185 Jordans. With the shoes now officially on sale, the world appears to be ending.
And it goes on: In Dallas, police reported to a fight in line Friday night. At 6 a.m. Saturday, customers tried to cut in line, causing a commotion that required police intervention, according to MyFoxDFW.
In the Bronx, two people brawled outside of a Foot Locker.

You can't be Black because your gibberish is not ebonic enuf....
nah Rafter u wont b banned bc u r not a hateful bigot. some of your points have been kicked around here...
Brussels Banker too. He was too truthful.
I got at least 3 or 4 warnings from Sacrilege...but hes alright...honestly I have nothing against the Jews...its just that most of the fuckin greedy conniving bastards on Wall Street and 100% of the Federal Reserve heads are Jews...and they along with the Japanese leaders in charge are totally fucking up the entire planet.
My neighbour is a Jew and shes the nicest lady I know...I wouldnt want anything bad to happen to her though if SHTF. But I could care less about the people on WS, Jew or non Jew.
fonz, remember ekm? he either got banned or dissappeared. Smart guy that made a lot of sense but dissappeared after his CALL didnt materialize...
yeah sure I liked him a lot. He had a lot of knowledge on different topics. He got carried away with the president getting ready to issue the order and all that. I could easily see how it drove him nuts for it not to happen.
last I saw ekm, he and francis were going at it pretty good.........I dont think ekm was banned I think he just stopped posting....
Francis was a piece of shit and deserved to get banned because he broke the rules set on Fight Club (ZeroHedge) himself.
Suck it.
Fight Club only has one rule - but I'm not going to talk about it.
Actually the "rules" were changed arbitrarily mid-stream...
That's funny....I don't remember you're name being on the list of the owners of this web site.
When you do become part of that list.....then you can arbitrarily change it back.
Until then......suck it.
What? Can you read?
Actually the "rules" were changed arbitrarily mid-stream...
Like ObamaCare?
Jumbo let us not invoke that POS f_s = i killed the fucker off good n proper! now we have a few bigots left here and sooner or later they'll play themselves like they always do...
Do they now? Try and get me banned, troll.
I have pictured you as a swarthy pimple-faced geek with a prominent nose since a foul wind blew you in here.
You are clever, but never wise. I had to tell a nephew, once, that he needed to listen more, and expound a bit less. You will gain wisdom from listening. Then with your natural intelligence and excellent communication skills, really have something to offer. You talk tough, but hide behind the skirts of political correctness and the rules that the powers that be have placed on us. Your snide and snarky comments might be appreciated more if your agenda wasn't so transparent. Don't be so proud of your down votes.
Nonetheless, I wish you a Merry Christmas, Mr. VD.
You did no such thing. You were/are getting your ass handed to you and you ran to mommy for help! Fuck you!!!!
FS wuzn't nuthin' but shit when he wuz here and he ain't nuthin' but shit now that he's gone.
...yep, here's another one who got banned circa 2009.
"Exactly. Which is why most people I know think they can ignore the math and everything will be okay. They fight the very idea that there is a real decline in quality of life, that it is permanent, and that it will continue to deteriorate. As Michele added above: "Apres moi, le deluge." Everyone else will get screwed but not me, I got mine.
It's a tsunami. Previous paradigms no longer apply.
Teevee, junkfood-addled Amerika could not withstand a currency collapse. The Black Plague made human capital valuable again - in modern application we have tens of millions on the gov't teat with no recovery.

All those 99-weekers waiting for jobs. What jobs? Doing what? The service economy is a fiat lie and our infrastructure is based on a constant flow of cheap oil.
Mortgage? WTF for? Prices are artificially high because of 1) shadow inventory 2) who can say they will be employed in their profession to make payments for 30 years anymore - no man is an island.
Stay nimble. Stay quick. This is no time for white picket fences. Going back to the sad, miserable, drugged-up state of our Nation it ain't a stretch to imagine that the Mandarin speakers are planning to make use of their raw (war) materials and spouse-less young men for "real estate acquisition". Hasn't anyone read a history book around here? The Chi-Coms have openly spoken of how they deserve North America. This kind of scenario isn't discussed because it is the worst-case scenario outside of nuc-bio-chem warfare, and then subsequent invasion.
"Oh, but China needs us and we need them." Bullshit. Everyone is buying time. The Chinese aren't stupid and they know they aren't getting their money back. Some finance guy over there said US bonds are not safe medium and long. In other words "We are trying to buy as much time as possible to acquire tangible assets that matter!"
All the survivalists from the 70's were wrong because they didn't understand the "Nixon" trick/effect of taking us off the gold standard and taking paper money to its extreme utility. It would have been better to face this shitstorm back then. Back when Americans were still eating meals that had real nutrition, no obesity epidemic, actual human interaction, strong infrastructure with less bureaucracy. Today it's all bloated beyond recognition.
When the Fed finally makes a move that has a visible and real effect on Amerika even rationing of supplies won't keep the interurban areas content. We are at the brink of a f.u.n.d.a.m.e.n.t.a.l. shift. Be far away from the millions that require a weekly check for their very survival. Do you think the owners of the Fed care if millions starve?"
I downsized my life by more than half because of these guys and moved 40 miles outside of the city. I owe them a huge debt.
ONE STEP BEHIND you ron. downsized to tansport ready. properties sold.
1000 sq ft or less. low taxes/minimalist world made from hand with some sunlight and rain.
time is your friend when debt free!
next stop about 60 miles from epicenter jordan/air warefare and rat race...
waiting patiently for right property.
close on a few.
it will happen
soon...
special thanks to many posters here, lots of insightfull comments- big TNKS!
More power to you brother game.
Have a question to all others out there. If you really believe the economy is going to crash, or massive deflation followed by hyperinflation, why pay taxes?
Why not have huge unsecured debt (like most of you don't anyways)?
Isn't the best FU to the bankers is to borrow their money and just don't pay it back?
Just saying.....
Steal from thieves? Two wrongs will never make it right.
Even when the 'game' is rigged in the thieves favor? What kind of morality is that?
How will theft solve the problem? Government itself is comprised of different groups of people attempting to right previous wrongs, by wronging eachother over, and over again.
Morality would have stopped the orginal act of theft in the first place, andwould have prevented government from forming, in perpetuity.
Two years ago i tried to sign in on ZH with the nick "Joobux". I heared nothing for a few months and tried another nickname. So here i am.
Just joking.
Thanks Tylers and Comment Section A, and happy holidays.
Ronalddawg: A tale of two Beverly Hills I suppose. I'm not familiar with the one that's "40 miles outside the city".
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-12-22/fights-break-out-across-america-over-latest-air-jordans-release#comment-4269183
Which comment should I take as the white man's god-given truth? I'm so confused. Are you in Beverly Hills or out in the boonies?
Hmmm none of your business. Maybe I'm at work, maybe not, you doubletalking snarky bitch.
I don't give a shit where you're at. But your comments are so ridiculous that my BS meter is now broken. Now go defend your BS in this thread about the murder counts of jews and catholics by the nazis.
Or go run away with your tail between your legs.
Or prove that your comments are accurate. Your choice.
I don't have to prove anything to you snarky troll.
Ohhhh - did I upset your version of Joo history?
Cause without the guilt of the Holocaust, we can treat the joos like any other minority.
But we can't upset the fragile Joo consciouness, cause you know they are God's chosen people.
How can they wake up in the morning if they are not seen as victims?
Tool.
So, let's not change the subject too much here... You have chosen not to respond to the fact that more jews were killed than catholics.. Guess you lose on that count.
You have a very poor grasp of your adversary here. I could care less about the Jews. Your ridiculous posts are the only thing I find upsetting.
"Tool"?? You lost. But keep at it, and I'll keep at it.
Actually, now I'm wondering, are there actually Jews going around acting like victims and citing the holocaust nowadays? Those aren't the kind of people I run into on a regular basis. I'm sure you're constantly running into Jews in BeverLy Hiills though. AM I RIGHT?
Neegros does the same victim thing.
waahhh waahhh waahh - We're children of slaves so we can act like animals.
Neegros DEMAND free food and housing because they are an oppressed minority.
Neegros need affirmative action to get even even though the last slave died over 100 years ago.
Sick of it really.
Here's a FACT for you.
The biggest use of the Holocaust is of course ... wait for it.... Israel. Germany has paid billions to Israel to assuage their guilt over the "Holocaust".
Eat my shit.
Ya, sure maybe...but you fail to recognize the scale of the events occuring in our world today. We live in precarious times to say the least...END TIMES REPENT SINNER would be a better all around slogan for the times we live in....
well that was entertaining.
i can imagine the headline:
CHINA INVADES CALIFORNIA, TAKING THE NAPA VALLEY AND ALMOND FIELDS
with subline:
Only to discover high amounts of radioactive contamination from Fukushima fallout
what is of real importance is knowing what cannabis strain that poster was taking while he wrote that.
The question: "Name one city, town, community that is predominantly black and not a cesspool?!"
The next question: "If we are all equal, do they have to behave like me, or me like them?!"

Washington D.C. ...no wait
Shaker Heights, Ohio
The racial makeup of the city was 55.0% White, 37.1% African American, 0.1% Native American, 4.6% Asian, 0.6% from other races, and 2.7% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.2% of the population
Break out the white people and joos aren't white.

Just reread the ZH policy on racial discrimination. Truth is dead.
It's Tyler's playground dude. If you don't like the way he plays, start your own!
It's obvious Tyler sold to Goldstein.
Imagine the chaos if the SNAP cards stop working for a few days. This would look like a Kum-by-a party.
I think you handle it as you would any large animal having death throes. You stay the fuck out of it's way till it's done dying. It's not that difficult since it's generally not intersted in you specifically. It's just trying to prolong it's existence. It will flail around, but generally if you're not stupid or unlucky then you can avoid direct conflict.
I've often wondered why the ZH 'discrimination policy' exists at all since it never seems to be enforced anyway. After all, banning for "the disparagment of people in the comments section" would result in the removal of 90% of ZH's readership. Maybe the 'policy' is cosmetic and merely exists for legal reasons. In any case, whatever anyone's particular views are, they should be steadfastly opposed to censorship, lest ZH becomes a cog in the machine it purports to oppose. Bring on milliondollarbonus, bring on fonestar, bring on any controversial poster, and let the almighty upvote/downvote -- not the whims of some faceless site admin -- decide the popularity of their ideas.
Anybody buying an Air Jordan now is having a death wish on his head...
And for those who value material things over social and moral values, I hope that they release more Air Jordans/Ipads so that these useless sheeples can eradicate one another before the people (who arent oblivious to whats going on) have to take action to do it down the road.
well I am officially done driving my range rover through motorcycle gangs on the west side highway while I comfortably stick my left leg out the window showing off my air jordans. It's getting too dangerous.

Sorry, My PC MSM key got stuck. Wonder why they don't wanna broadcast Nancy and Bob Strait either. Maybe the Cultural Marxists have an agenda...
....the product of a partitioned legal system and social engineers. Where some are more equal than others and yet others are left to pay for supposed crimes their great grandparents may have committed.
No fights if they had used Bitcoins to pay.
Bitcoin would have no effect on these types of things.
Just messing with you fonestar. Wanted to get the first bitcoin mention on the thread and pull your chain.

And if you really want to see the sheeple of the left fill their pants, just mention in passing that LBJ's grandkids ought to show I.D. as they get off the bus to vote.
MELTDOWN!
If the MSM isn't going to alert the country that the "Knock-out" game is Black on White hate crime then you can't expect them to point out that these air jordan brawls are precipitated primarily (and potentially exclusively) by one race. I mean why bring that little detail to light, it can't be meaningful?
How I wish I was young enough to wear them, then I would be young enough to fight for them, "Thems my shoes, I fought for em" This give people a purpose, a chance to have a feeling of accomplishment, you take your accomplishments where you find them!
So what sort of money does Jordan make from having his name emblazoned shoes? What's his cut from Nike?
FORWARD SOVIET!
We didn't have this at the GUM stores, getting the TP was more important.
Well Obama told you if he had a son he'd look like Trayvon Martin.
Knowing the dietary habits of Americans, this will NEVER happen with vegetables. Mass starvation will come first.
This is why I only buy used gold.
Yeah....even if you had enough money to buy a pair of overpriced dead animal skin.....you paid in real currency.....not Shitcoin.
Never seen a brawl at the gun store when I am buying 45 caliber?
It's an Effnic thing.
Doesn't happen when you buy bitcoins either i bet.... ;) ( or do you have virtual fights ;) ? )
OBAMASHOES !! I'mMA GET ME OBAMASHOES!!
Black culture of violence like the 4 blacks that murdered the poor white soul in NJ mall for a Range Rover. Where are the rev. Sharpton and jackson
Saying: Amen!!!
When I was a kid that was called scrumping
in line for those fly ass shoes
Nike makes these shoes in a couple of gigantic Taiwanese run factories all over China, Vietnam, Indonesia. Factories aren't bad, simply boring, repetitive factory jobs that young take until they can get something better...and Nike makes the most amazing profit margins on their Jordan's...something in the 60%+ range...Brand Jordan is the most profitable part of Nike. Jordan is a fashion brand within a generally athletic brand...and folks so utterly lacking self worth (black & white) that they will kill for a outward symbol that they believe validates them.
Naw man, I got the Velcros
Hello, hello, my ace man, my Mello
John Wayne ain't got nothing on my fringe game, hell no
I could take some Pro Wings, make them cool, sell those
The sneaker heads would be like "Aw, he got the Velcros"
They make these shoes in Asia because the Africans can't make any shoes. Africans on welfare and with a few bucks from low end jobs can afford to fight over shoes and which African can have the shoes first, but they wouldn't be able to make those shoes themselves.
Come to think of it, there aren't many things Africans can make now or could make over the course of 5,000 years.
Africa is a shithole. Always has been and always will be. So much for evolution. It didn't happen that way. Calling themselves "African" American is about the dumbest thing. I wouldn't call myself "Neanderthal" American because thankfully, I'm part of a culture that has evolved beyond that.
you seem to have forgotten all the scenes of white folks trampling each other and brawling at Toys R Us and every other reatailer on "White Thursday"...
but hey, thats alright keep blaming it all on the blacks if it makes you feel better....
Reread his post. He specifically says, in parentheses, black and white.
Driving around in a Range Rover given to them by a faithful member of the congregation.
Where is George Zimmerman?
c any white folks in this compilation...
man, the black versus white shit is so fucking tired...
they view you all as just consumers and debt slaves...
but some mother fuckers follow their divide and conquer shit hook, line, and sinker....junk away sheeple

The black culture of violence is dwarved by the white culture of obsessive technological murder on the lesser races globally.
And here, almost naked, is the reason you can NEVER make blanket generalizations about groups which number in the hundreds of millions.
And yet, the obvious truth of the statement above makes the implications of it's truthiness even more staggering.

Not thankful for the railways?
"The black culture of violence is dwarved by the white culture of obsessive technological murder on the lesser races globally.."
obviously ur being junked casue the historical record does not support you assertion....
dislclaimer: please attach sarcasm.
I stand with isreal and joe biden.
and his name is adi dassler.
Hopefully driving a Range Rover in NJ at the mall?
Buyin' de new Jo-Dans!
FORWARD AL's SOVIET!
does billy graham always speak out anytime a white person kills another human being?
Sharpton and Jackson say they didn't do it. It was some other black guys.
bottom line: u need to get smacked if u still rocking Jordanz.//
Who is Jordan ?
Bo knows Jordan.
Bo was and is still a good man...better man than Jordan turned out to be.
Who's Bo ?
Is he that guy in the hemmoroid commercial who dad got killed by people shaped animals.
Tyler writes: "...the world appears to be ending."
Yes, the world is ending. Prepare.
The world only appears to be ending as the sun sets in the west.
Big Enchilada China has many, many problems. I am not concerned about them, or India, or Brazil, or Russia, or even Indonesia. Adult diplomacy and a tad of humility will ensure no wars (I hope).
The sun will set in the West only if we allow it. Which so far is exactly what is happening.
This has been going on for decades..same as it ever was.
"In the early 1990s, at the height of hip-hop’s Renaissance period, the shoes became synonymous with rap music and hip-hop culture. In many cities — including Detroit, Chicago, and New York — theshoes became popular targets for thieves as people were often mugged, and in some cases killed, over Jordans."
http://thegrio.com/2011/12/28/air-jordans-are-more-than-a-sneaker-to-black-community/
Even in the mid 60s, athletic shoes (sneakers) were heavily marketed at kids. Two I can remember off the top of my head are Converse All-Stars and PF Flyers, later to be known by the cops as "felony flyers". These were reasonably priced shoes unlike the Air Jordans.
Is this a bull market? :)
Adult diplomacy like Neville Chamberlain?
And comes up in the east to show the light of day on a new horror.
If you think the fights over shoes and TV's were bad, wait until it's pharmaceuticals and food...
those are just robberies at the drug stors and happen all the time already.
Could be why Corp / Fed / States are pushing the legalization of drugs. Particularly pot. Not only do they get yet ANOTHER revenue (blood) stream but they quell the urge to riot over anything from sneakers to Freedom.
Huxley and Orwell......not just authors.....but prophets.
Pot by itself maybe, but mix it with booze, coke and God knows what pills...and a folk will slit your throat for lookin at ya wrong.
Gub likes pot for revenue and fundamental transformation, not libertarianism.
F Gub!!!
Pot makes you completely docile and sleepy - reduces tostesterone. Yeah they want the tax money but it is easier to pull shit on the peeps when everyone is high.
you can grow your own in your bedroom closet
Negresses sure love to grab those white girls by the hair when they attack, they must subconsciously want that hair for their weave extensions. bahaha
The new Jordan NBC's. Stampede tomorrow.
EBT EBT
These shoes are obviously the casue of massive destruction, more so than tobacco, and should thus be banned and Nike fined to the point of insolvency.
No shoes, period!!!
Shoes don't kill - people do!
Maybe, but you'll still duck if one (or more) get thrown at you.
I had to buy a pair of shoes at walmart once because on my way to work I stepped in a pile of human feces outside a poorly lit gas station and just had to throw them away. I walked into Walmart with my socks on, slipped my foot inside a pir of el cheapos and a pin poked me in the toe...I think I'm fine...that damn shoe had it our for me...he was sticking his tounge out at me the whole damn time.
After a couple of pair of Wal Mart sneakers myself.....I know now that you went from having shit on the outside of your shoe to putting shit directly on your feet.
Walmart sneakers have a lifespan of about 3 weeks,never again will I purchase such crap.
That's if you are an adult. Try putting them on your kid's feet. They self-destructed in the playground that afternoon. DCH wanted to take my kids away from me because they thought I did it.
Walmart is sooooo 2001.
With the monkeys and the monolith and whatnot? Man, Kubrick really was prophetic. </sarc>
How did you know it was human feces? Did you taste it?
Gather 'round children and heartell the saddest story ever told....
What these shoe stores need is a Stalin look-alike Shoe Nazi...
- No shoes for you!!!
If you invite flocks of the third world immigrants what do you expect to become?
Slum lord?
"We're Only In It For The Money"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The slum lord bubble will be popped by the power grid going out for an extended period of time, at least in major cities.
Look for a Neo-Rome, with NYC's 5 borough's suffering different, but similar fates. It takes SO much to keep big cities running, and NYC has the highest concentration of people per square mile AFAIR.

Problem with that, Curt, is when the government 'disappears' them, so will your right to choose much of anything.
