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.

I think it is state or county.
I knew that people were going to spend their $1200.00 on Chinese stuff.
I need to replace a couple of things and I’m looking for “Made in USA” replacements.

Does anybody above the age of 17 wear sneakers?
To: laplata
Yeah, I think so too.
Grocery stores count on a lot of EBT business.
The registers have software to specifically process these payments. /Captain Obvious

Buying them, so someone else can knock them over the head and take them.

Fraud-Guv spent TRILLIONS on “stimulus” so ghetto people can buy overpriced sneakers made in China. You can’t make that sh*t up.

At our grocery stores, we can see how much the person paying, ahead of you, has/has not put on to their SNAP and/or WIC cards.
A first clue, though, is when they use more than one CC, in the card swiper.

Good sign. People are not afraid to spend their money which in turn will stimulate the economy. LIBERATE ALL 50 STATES!

The vid, at link, doesn’t look like much of a crowd.

Yep, way better than me during a lot of lean years.
It’s outrageous, frankly.
But then I don’t know how to game the system. Some of them do, apparently.

When I see people process EBT cards, it’s not unusual for them to get $100 worth of groceries.
No wonder they vote Democrat.

Seriously I remember one year where a guy came up to the Air Jordan line and tried to rob some shoppers. Someone in the line was CC and shot the guy then promptly got back in line so as not to lose his place. Cops filed no charges. 😆

We have a great mail carrier. She’s hard core conservative. She said she sees suspected fraud through the mail every week.
