Man Shot in Head, Wrecks Car Over Jordans

More violence continues to erupt over the coveted "Bred" Air Jordan 11's. SneakerWatch recently made you aware of an incident in which a riot broke out at Madison Square Mall in Huntsville, Alabama. Now another act of violence has occurred, this time in Houston as two men were attacked by two men with guns who wanted to rob them of the Air Jordan 11's they recently purchased.

Deputies say the incident took place at around 10:30 a.m. Friday morning. Two men went to Willowbrook Mall to buy several pairs of the "Bred" 11's and as they returned home, another car stopped in front of theirs. Someone exited the vehicle with a firearm and demanded the men hand over the sneakers.

The driver fled the scene, leaving his passenger behind. He was chased by one the gunmen while his passenger made it into the driver's side. As he went to pull off, a second gunman brandished a firearm and began shooting as well. The passenger, now driver, was shot in the head which caused him to crash the car through a wooden fence which can be seen in the photos above. The driver wasn't hurt during the incident but the passenger suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to Houston Northwest Hospital.

Death over designer is nothing new. I can remember the same shit over reebok pumps, starter jackets, triple fat gooses and Eddie Bauer Polar Bears. The main difference is back the it was mainly due to the fact that many couldn't afford certain items or brands. These days the violence occurs mostly because the demand is extremely higher than the supply. These instances can be mitigated by both the consumer and the Brand. Jordan will go down as one of the greatest players to play the game so it's a given that the shoes he wore when making history will be somewhat coveted, I remember I couldn't wait to ballinmy new jays- immulating his moves. Everything from his free throws to his jump shot with the kicked out leg, every kid wanted to be as good as Mike. His shoes are mainly saught after now justtohavethe latest. We have to stop putting these brands on such a high pedestal.. If anything we should pay close attention to the steps they took to get where they are and try to incorporated some of those practices into achieving out own goals. Look at the time and effort we spend on checking for the latest releases, first looks, final looks, updates, pushbacks, restocks, expected quantities at different locations, travel arrangements, we even develop strategies for copping these kicks, most of our strategies even have a plan B and C. Wended to redirect our intelligence to a direction that's more worth it. As Tara's Nike and JB- I hope it's pretty evident that the don't give a shit about minorities- just research their sweatshops in Asia .... That raffle shit helps but it doesn't solve the issue that as a brand you are not even coming close to meeting the demand of your consumers. Imagine if apple only released a few iPads when they dropped. It would be chaos prolly worse than Jordan releases, but apple wouldn't stay afloat because the voices of their main consumers are louder than than voices of Jordan Brand consumers. It's sickening how much control these brands think they have. It's even worse that we don't see how much control we have to spend our money where it's more appreciated. Don't think for a moment that JB answered our prayers by releasing the bred 11's... It's nothing but a sales strategy. They eat more- we spend more !

They do make enough pairs they sell out. The guy didnt die. And they didnt even get the shoes.

Man.. This shit is really, really tragic.. Something like life, which should be regarded as sacred being thrown to the side for what? Gym shoes? Things gotta change.. But they likely won't; carnage over Jordan's just ain't nuthin new.. This is throwback violence.

Really jordan brand and the company can't be so much responsible cuz they don't this is gone happen, I mean what can they do or say I'm sorry or I pay for funeral, they can't bring the child back.
