A crowd waiting for a rare release of a sneaker nearly riot outside a NYC sneaker store last night.

This store is the only one selling the sneakers, they're a collaboration between the store and Nike, and they're $250 a pair. The resale value will be $1k or more.
Did I mention that they're a really ugly pair of sneakers that most of us would never wear? Yeah, awful.

i know that collecting sneaker is a whole thing, and that's fine, but who has the free time AND the money for this sort of thing? -- nm - Andie Apr 3, 06:33 6
- I get the original buyer wanting to make money, but who would pay $1,000 for a pair of sneakers -- nm - JaxSean Apr 3, 07:05
- "Yeah, crazy!" said anyone whose ever collected anything ever. -- nm - Mop on Samsung Galaxy S3 Apr 3, 07:01
- If you can make a $750 return on a $250 investment, that pretty darn good -- nm - ty97 Apr 3, 06:41 2

    - It seems pretty certain. BTW, find out if your sneakers are collectible and what they're worth by using this site! -- (link) - mara Apr 3, 07:09
- The time is what gets me. I would have waited with them but I have work today and I couldn't wait outside all night and then go to work. - Krusty Apr 3, 06:36
