The shoes retail for about $185.

We need to set up Air-Jordan free zones in our inner cities.

Since white thugs don’t kill eachother over Air Jordans, the solution is to sue Nike for perpetuating violence among thugs of color. Nike is clearly racist. /s

The Air Jordan shoe show loophole must be closed.

When the clothes you where are more important than a life, Satan has already garnered your soul. I have never understood the need for branded clothes. As my Mother said if they are not paying you to advertise why do it for free?

Also Friday, police at a Fort Worth mall used pepper spray to disperse an unruly crowd waiting to buy Michael Jordan shoes.

Shoe riots...
