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.

In our family, those that received the check/DP opened a bank account and deposited the money in that to be used for “fun and games” as gramps said.

You beat me!

You.

The very same people that will pay the medical cost of people that are infected at other gatherings will also pay for these people’s medical costs?

They should be buying Jimmy's plyometric shoes. Better investment.

I guess this blows the argument people will social distance
on their own to hell. So now we have an area where can watch and if there is no virus rebound we will be able to say your fascist lockdowns are not justified. We will know in a couple of weeks.

Toilet paper and tennis shoes. Critical supplies during an epidemic. Especially when da gummint payin’ fo dem.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

That’s it, we are officially back to NORMAL.

Murders, mayhem, traffic, and Air Jordans.

‘Crowds’ or ‘teens’?

So much for rent payment.

So much for rent payment.

Not as if they can be evicted or anything.

I saw the vid and it makes me wonder, “Do any white people buy those shoes?”

Only if they want to bait a robber.....

Good! Looking forward to some new freak out vids on YouTube🙂

$1200 buys what...one pair?

[USS Alaska]

At $200/pair, you can get 3 pair with the chi-com virus bonus check.

Who needs to pay the rent? Screw the landlord.

The good news is that with my $250 new pair of Air Jordans, I can jump higher and run from the cops faster. Good deal!
