Air Jordans Smell Like Pepper Spray

After 4 months of pepper spraying unemployed white people at numerous urban encampments for Occupy WallStreet, famous 1Percenter Michael Jordan wanted to see some black folk get pepper sprayed for a change, so he re-released his Air Jordan sneakers.

From the NBCBayarea site here:

Everybody wants a nice pair of shoes. So much so, that when the new Nike Air Jordan’s went on sale this morning, people were willing to fire off weapons to get to them.

The SFist reports, around 6 a.m. this morning, shots were fired at the Hilltop Mall in Richmond, where around 3,000 were people were waiting in line for the latest Air Jordan 11 Retro Concords.

Police were called to a shopping center in Redondo Beach, as well as Pineville, N.C., Atlanta, Seattle and Indianopolis.

Some shoppers told NBC Miami they were maced by police and trampled by other shoppers.

At least six people were arrested in the Washington area.

They are just sneakers. Right?
