A video sent to ABC7 via uReport shows a large crowd rushing through the door of the Newpark Mall. Police say a man was apprehended for hitting the guard during the shoe frenzy.
The new limited edition sneakers went on sale Friday morning. A raffle system was implemented with the aim of controlling the madness.
Anetrieous Ponder arrived at the mall at 4 a.m. "I'm only interested in getting two pairs of shoes but I think someone should be held accountable because Nike sends 20 or 30 pair of shoes when there's going to be 100 to 200 people," Ponder said.
The Air Jordan Retro 11 sneakers retail for $185. Re-sellers are already offering the shoes for as much as $820 on eBay.
