vandalism and pepper spray incident VIDEO
The outbursts of chaos stretched from Washington state to Georgia as shoppers often waiting for hours in lines converged on stores Friday in pursuit of the shoes, a retro model of one of the most popularAir Jordans ever made.
In suburban Seattle,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], police used pepper spray on about 20 customers who started fighting at the Westfield Southcenter mall. He said it started as fighting and pushing among people in line and escalated over the next hour.
Murphy said no injuries were reported,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], although some people suffered cuts or scrapes from fights.
"He did not get his shoes; he went to jail,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Murphy said.
Watch video of the crowds here:
The mayhem was reminiscent of the violence that broke out 20 years ago in many cities as the shoes became popular targets for thieves. It also had a decidedly Black Friday feel as huge crowds of shoppers overwhelmed stores for a musthave item,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
In some areas, lines began forming several hours before businesses opened for the $180 shoes that were selling in a limited release.
As the crowds kept growing through the night, they became more unruly and ended in vandalism, violence and arrests. The 20yearold man was expected to recover from his injuries.
No injuries were reported,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but police said a 24yearold suspect was taken into custody. The gun apparently went off inadvertently, the Contra Costa Times reported.
"I probably could have used a half a size smaller,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I was just really happy to have the shoe," he said.
The frenzy over Air Jordans has been dangerous in the past. Some people were mugged or even killed for early versions of the shoe, created by Nike Inc. in 1984.
