People fighting over $500 shoes. Anyone who pays $500 for a pair of shoes is an idiot. I spend $60 on boots and they usually last me five years.

Shoe Release Causes Disturbance at St. Charles Town Center

On Dec. 23 at 5 a.m., police were called to the St. Charles Town Center after hundreds of people forced their way inside three of the mall’s entrances to be among the first in line to purchase the new Air Jordan Retro Concord tennis shoes which were scheduled to go on sale at 6 a.m. Once inside, several scuffles broke out as people tried to regain their position in line. No customers were injured but an officer injured his hand while making an arrest. In all, four juveniles and two adults were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and assault. There was no damage to any of the stores inside the mall. CCSO closed the mall entrances for approximately 45 minutes until officers were satisfied the situation was under control. These types of disturbances broke out at malls across the nation as the shoes went up for sale early this morning.

I did a Google search, there are some as expensive as $600. These new shoes are $200 which is ridiculous.
