New Air Jordan Shoes Cause Local Shopping Frenzy
STOCKTON (CBS13) - Shoppers waited in the cold for hours at local stores just to get their hands on a new pair of the Air Jordan shoes.
At Weberstown Mall in Stockton, some people lined up outside overnight to get the Air Jordan Concord XI shoes. Some shoppers were able to get inside through an unsecured door, but were kicked out by mall security.
Once the doors opened, chaos broke out as shoppers pushed and shoved to get inside. Two doors on the mall were broken and barriers were tossed aside and bent. Shoppers lost jackets, shoes and other personal belongings. One woman says she was punched in the mouth.
"A lot of chaos; I was punched in the face. Yes, punched in the face in my mouth. So it is a good thing I have braces so I still have my teeth," she said
One man said someone pulled out a knife.
It was a similar scene at other malls across Northern California.
The shoes cost $180.
