People All Over The Country Acting Like Fools Over The New Air Jordan 11 Retro Concords. Fights & Near Riots Break Out In Atlanta, Indianapolis & Seattle [Videos]

It's just a couple of days away from Christmas, but shoppers trying to get their hands on new limited edition Air Jordan's didn't show much holiday spirit this morning.

People in cities likes Indianapolis, Atlanta and Seattle fought, trampled each other, broke mall doors off of hinges and generally acted like heathens in order to get their hands on Nike's new Air Jordan 11 Retro Concords.

"Tinker made it shine. Mike made it fly. You made it iconic," Nike said in a statement. "Jordan 11s only come around once a year, so don't miss this highly anticipated release."

One woman in Lithonia, Georgia was arrested after leaving her 1 and 5 year old kids inside her car so she could purchase a pair of the $180 dollar sneakers.

"I don't remember anything like this in the recent past at all, definitely not with the iPhone or anything like that," Linda Jackson, a spokeswoman for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, told ABCNews.com.

"I don't understand why they're so important to people. They're just shoes at the end of the day. It's not worth risking your life over," said Carlissa Williams, who added that she'll never do anything like this again.

In total four people were arrested in Atlanta. Fights also broke out in Kentucky and glass was shattered at stores in North Carolina according to ABC News.

Nike rakes in estimated sales of $1 billion a year on Air Jordans.

Comment by JamRockLady on December 28, 2011 at 9:33am: This is the product of a hyper-materialist, capitalist society.

This is as far away from human nature, as one can get, and the bureaucratic, fat-cats, that made this possible, are all laughter and pointing at these fools, and laughing all the way to the bank. SMH!

Nation: stop consuming and start producing! Stop feeding the beast! >:(

Comment by One Love on December 27, 2011 at 6:47am: There are some collectors but I am estimating that most of these people just want to show off.
ever see some use spit to clean their new sneakers? Those are most likely the none investors.
what is a baby doing with a 180 sneakers? To show the hood your kid is expensive yet poor? What about college black people?

Comment by BIG F* on December 27, 2011 at 2:47am: This s*** might be crazy, but I just got off Ebay.com and them s**** are going for $350 or better. I even seen a few pair up there for $750.00 - buy now, and the bid is already at $400.00. So that make me wonder, how many of them fools that was rushing to the mall about to make $500 or better off them sneakers they paid $180 for. Like I said before I won't be out there acting a fool over them s**** but then again the fools that's out there is the ones that's buying them to walk up and down the streets in. Buying and selling is the leading business in the world. But we all know everybody that's in them videos do not have buying and selling on they mind, them the real fools...

Comment by Cee Gee on December 26, 2011 at 11:52am: I never broke my neck to get anything like this. Really, who can afford $180 for a pair of sneakers and rent ain't paid and you live in the damn ghetto. What is wrong with black folk?
