A Long Line


We were leaving the mall after 9 pm on March 31st and noticed these kids lined up outside in the rain. It was 2C (36F) but the wind had died down. I had to ask them why. They said it was for 'Jordans' at the Footlocker store. They must have been waiting for an April 1st release so I googled these Air Jordan running shoes, it must be what they were waiting for. I wished them good luck.

Waiting for shoes is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. People act like Jordans are going to make your feet immortal

Such fans. Wow.

When I worked at the mall I saw people lined up like this all the time. Eventually the stores went to a ticket system to avoid the congestion.

I give them credit for waiting outside just for a pair of shoes. Lol.

My husband would like the low OG in light gray, but he wouldn't wait in any kind of line to buy them, nor would he go out in the cold to do so. I guess these shoes can't be bought online?

I would never stand in line for shoes....but I know how they love those Jordans.

I guess you could if they didn't get sold out first, sort of like the Boxing Day sales I imagine. I just read these Jordans actually appreciate in value over time.

Oh brrrr, I hope they were all able to get the shoes!

Waiting for shoes is not my thing, but when I was that age, I stayed out all night waiting for concert tickets. So, I can see the fun.
