never been to an apple product launch?
Uh, no? I have this thing called a life.

That's what 90% of the people in the mob had in mind. They don't want the shoes, they want to resell them. Same deal as when Target got mobbed when they released clothes from a designer recently. The first people in line filled their carts with entire racks of clothes and then headed out to the parking lot to resell them for more.
Ha! I worked at a store similar to Best Buy when the Wii Fit was a big deal. There was a limit of 1 per customer because people would pull shit like that. It's bad for business to let 1 person buy all of it because the store gets a bad reputation for never having shit available.

I like them but not enough to spend $220 on them. I have never spent much more than $50 - 60 on footwear.

Same. The $30 pair of shoes I got in high school lasted me nine years. They looked pretty damn nice when I finally decided to get rid of them, too.

I was wondering why those kids were camped in front of the shoe store the last two days... knew it had to be something stupid.

Well, I paid $150 for a pair of Brooks Beasts, but this under advisement from my podiatrist after third surgery on a toe. Worth every penny (though not nearly as stylin'), but I didn't have to risk getting the shit beat out of me for my trouble. Florida....


Agreed, I'm a runner and have been using these shoes for years, highly recommended by my chiropractor too.
