The NYPD wants your help finding three men who stole the shoes right off a teen’s feet during a violent robbery in Queens.

It happened Saturday afternoon around 12:30 p.m. on Quince Avenue between Bowne Street and Parson Boulevard in Flushing.

Surveillance video shows the trio pull up in a white, four-door sedan while the victim is standing on the street using his phone.

Glad I wear Costco/Kirkland $20 white tennis sneakers.

[Red Badger]

These super expensive shoes attract thugs like flies to feces.....................

Surveillance video from some time later shows the men attempting to sell the stolen shoes for money in a nearby store.

I'm surprised this is even possible. Who the hell fences (and what kind of store buys) used sneakers?

[apillar]

Those danged Amish and their sneaker fetish....

"sell them for money"

Okay.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Did they leave their beards and hats in the car? Shouldn’t they be in a horse & buggy?

[WayneS]

Were they trying to sell them at at the Store for Redundancies Store?

A few years ago killing for a pair of Air Jordans was not unheard of.

I wear Danners. They’re expensive, but nobody’s going to try to steal them because they’re work boots.

I hate that Costco only goes as high as size 13. I wear 14.

At least they have $12.95 jeans that fit.

Same here. Just purchased a pair of daily walking/hiking boots from Redwing shoes. $180 after the discount for being a repeat customer. They fit really, really good.

Too bad they're made offshore in Vietnam. They were made in Oregon previously.

New Balance is also a good brand that way. Not cool in ‘da ‘hood.

[Ikeon]

new balance all the way.. nikes are too narrow for my flippers..

[Conserv]

Yeah.

On the bright side, they didn’t shoot him.

[kenmcg]

One of these days these scum will run into a “Bernie Getz”.

[Bonemaker]

Wonder where the victim stole them?

[jonrick46]

These thieves are practicing up on more deadly crimes. If they need tennis shoes now, they will be busting down a door or robbing a bank later. The Black Culture is not showing its best face lately.

[Calvin Locke]

Trio? as in "Da Da Da"?

I think that they were [West] German.

“One of these days these scum will run into a “Bernie Getz”.”

Or a Paul Kersey type who has a shitty day attitude.
