Nike Foamposite Galaxy shoe release causes rioting at a Florida mall (video @ link)

Not again. In a situation reminiscent of the craziness that broke out in December when Nike released its retro version of a popular Air Jordan basketball shoe, police were called in late Thursday to break up a crowd that had gathered at the Florida Mall near Orlando in anticipation of the release of a new limited edition, glow-in-the-dark Nike shoe.

More than 100 officers in riot gear were needed to disperse several hundred people who law enforcement officials said became unruly as they waited for the $220 Nike Galaxy Air Foamposite Ones to go on sale....

<snip>

...Early Friday, Foot Locker announced that it was canceling the shoe's release at certain malls and stores. "Our priority is the safety of the community," Foot Locker said in a statement.

[Gee. I wonder what "communities" those "certain malls and stores" might be in?]

Understatement.

It matters not, they can all travel anywhere within where $5 worst of gas can get them!
