THe NYPD shut down a store that was set to sell the new $250 Supreme/Nike Air Foamposite sneakers on Thursday.
Police dispersed about 300 sneaker heads (mostly blacks and Hispanics) who lined up outside Supreme New York on Lafayette Street Thursday morning. Most of them were unaware that the NYPD cancelled the sale of the colorful basketball shoes.
The store posted a notice of cancellation on its website on Wednesday that read:
“Due to concern for public safety, NYPD has forced us to not sell the Supreme/Nike Foamposites and accompanying clothing in our New York Store. These items will be available on supremenewyork.com tomorrow (Thursday) at 11am EST.”
Historically, store releases of NIKE Air Jordans and other high demand products have resulted in riots, injuries, and even deaths.
Civic leaders in major cities have long called for NIKE to put an end to the much-hyped store releases due to the risk of injuries.
More from Sandrarose.com:
Those shoes are ugly af! I don’t get the hype about Jordans.
300 sneaker heads (mostly blacks and Hispanics)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Word?
Okay
So if this was the line for the next I Phone it would have been ok?
I can understand why they would cancel this. Too many past incidents.
I don’t particularly like these…but I know a few DBoys that will be rocking these. Hopefully, their ensembles will not have a matching shirt or pants,
complimentary, but not matching. Just too much..IMO.
NYPD shut down a store
&&&&&&&&&
I guess I didnt know they could do this esp. since there wasnt a problem just that there maybe. I better see them at the Natralizer the next time they have a sale those old yt ladies cut the fool bout those. And those shoes are sooooooooooooo not cute.

Don’t get it twisted. Those Yts love their shoes 
Always at a release in the right neighborhood. Shoes up top wasn’t hitting on nothing no way. Doing too much with foamposites now

@MsPeaches – I doubt it. That would be labeled a “friendly gathering”.
Someway, somehow Obamacare gonna get pulled into this news story.
All I can think of is Versace, Versace, Versace!
Morning roses
Why did I just hear a “preacher” on the radio say “Gold diggers only get Dug out and left out” smh
for his flock cause he taking em on a slow train to no damn where.
interesting being that I live directly around the corner from a store that has these sales.
dont believe the hype yall.
first of all its a whole lot of asians and ALLLLLLLLLLLLL types of other ppl that come from all over the state, country, world to get the sneakers only available here.
these sales happen at least once a month if not more. ppl start waiting in line at night and they are assigned a ticket number. I pass by them in the morning and there hasnt been one fight or outbreak yet. hell, they look too dam sleepy to do anything.
now next door at the DMV is a whole nother story.
Raaannndddoooommmm
Erica Mena used to work at Dash. I just saw her on Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami.

Yep don’t forget about them Asians
They worried about riots and are there to police THAT…But who is helping lil Dim Sum Yow in Vietnam who made the shoes? He is 12 years old and doesnt go to school; JUST to sew soles on the shoes for negative 5 cents an hour.
Where is the outrage in THAT?
Fugg Nike and their blood azz sneak-kuh (like TI says it in “Memories Back Then”)

She dated Draya from B-BALL Wives too.
I would have loved to be in that sandwhich!
While I don’t like the undertones of racism I must admit I am irritated that some (not all) people would rather stand in line for hours for a pair of shoes than a job, healthcare or for their kids’ education. It’s reprehensible. Not to mention the shoes look HIDEOUS (State Farm voice)
I live in a county that is 87.9% white. I strolled into a store on release day, and they were in attendance
I just wanted to see if they had the Reebok Crossfits.

I don’t like these foamposites but I love the Air Max foamposites! I want them so bad. I would wait in line for em.
Good. I have no problem with the decision. Hopefully, they will do this in the DMV.
$250 for sneakers. Maaaaan I see kids in my school rocking these and those same parents request for FREE tutoring. FOH
WALMART tew
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Word.
What about lil Dim Sum’s SISTA…who is in Vietnam RIGHT now sewing Walmart brand XXX for negative 15 cent an hour? She is 9 years old. She should be IN SCHOOL. Where is the outrage in THAT? They got po po there for Black Friday. Somebody help Lil Dim Sum-mita. Shyt.
Fugg Sam Walton and his blood azz GOODS.
Im surprised they still doing lines
Everywhere I know now, either makes you reserve em or raffle
it will be one lonnnnng as line for ppl waiting to get sneakers, another lonnnnnng ass line fore ppl waiting to audition at the apollo and another lonnnnnng ass line for ppl waiting to get to the DMV—on the same street at the same dam time. the one at the DMV is the only one that has security guards.
in all honesty, the way this story reads is that the store doesnt have the sneakers and is lying and saying the nypd made them shut down (which I have never seen). there is no article or official statement to back the store’s claims up. I think they lying OR they only sold the few they had to their friends/family already.

I do feel like if she had not put all of her business out there in Ebony she wouldn’t be as humiliated or felt like she had to live up to a certain standard. I get being an open book, but you can’t claim transparency and then get mad and want to hide from the questions and the judgment. I think she wanted to publicly embarrass Teddy. But MULTIPLE affairs Teddy :stop: he was outchea 
Can we talk about Mary Mary??? I am torn. While Tina is annoying and I kinda feel like her family is like SUCK THAT ISH UP YO

You see the story where the two blacks (mgrs) done came forward, and said that they were pressured HIGHLY to skim hours out of McDs workers checks?

The New Deal outlined basically two tracks: entitlement and subsidies. People don’t think of Mortgage Interest Deduction, Capital Gains Tax, Hedgefunds, etc. as welfare. It’s an entitlement. Corporations are the biggest receivers of federal welfare

speaking of fake ish—that girl British from bbwives’ site is completely bogus, has an F rating with the Better bidness bureau and has several claims against her with paypal.
apparently nothing has shipped out in about 2-3 years but she steady taking orders.

I did not like what the momma was saying. And it would take Jesus, Mary and Joseph for me to even think about not divorcing Teddy. Mind you, why was Teddy calling around asking about Tina? ANd why was the other sister answering the phone and talking ot him?! Man bye.
@nakeya
I agree. The mom, however well- intentioned, was not really allowing her to vent. Just let her get whatever she’s feeling out without shutting her down.. C
Someone enlighten me on a couple of issues please?
1)NYPD has the RIGHT to call off a sale on tennis shoes?
2) Wouldn’t it just have been easier to have some officers there to keep the peace?
