An Atlanta mall saw massive crowds gather Saturday to buy the new Air Jordan sneakers after lockdown restrictions were lifted, according to a report.

Shoppers packed close to form lines that wrapped outside Greenbriar Mall on Saturday to get their hands on the new Air Jordan 5 “Fire Red” sneakers, news station 11Alive reported.

Video posted to social media showed people waiting to get into the mall and then again outside of the shoe store Jimmy Jazz.

“Everyone I talked to was in line for a new Air Jordan 5 that sold out online,” tweeted NBC producer Charlie Gile.

The sneaker frenzy comes after Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp allowed shelter-in-place orders to expire and encouraged businesses to reopen.

Air Jordans...Something never change. But on the other hand, if they are going to play basketball outdoors and defy crazy edicts from Fauci-Birx, then good for them. They are young and reject the Covid paranoia

Air Wuhans ... stylish sneakers made to look like they’re wearing a face mask.

The manufacturer, obviously NOT a ChiCom manufacturer, should try to use a Pooh Bear as mascot.

Any takers?

“Of all the stupid things to spend your money on”.

Their pantries are probably bare but they know they can go to the food bank.

"Crowds"?

I see a single group of about 30 people wearing masks and mostly social distancing.

This is Fake News hyperbole.

Could be a result of ESPN’s 10-part documentary on Michael Jordan, “The Last Dance”. Oh wait, media doesn’t influence anyone. /s
