[h1]Deputies: Man shot in head wrecks car as thieves attempt to steal new Jordans[/h1]
HOUSTON – A robbery involving new Air Jordan tennis shoes ended with a man shot in the head and a car crashed next to a house in northwest Harris County, deputies said.
It happened around 10:30 a.m. Friday in the 1700 block of Plumwood Drive.
Investigators said two men went to Willowbrook Mall to buy several pairs of Air Jordan tennis shoes then headed home. As the driver pulled up to the front of his home, another vehicle pulled up in front of his car. Then an armed person got out the car and demanded the new shoes.
The driver took off running on foot, leaving his passenger behind in the car, as the thief followed him firing shots, deputies said. As the driver knocked on a neighbor’s door for help, he heard another person firing shots at his passenger.
The passenger was able to get behind the wheel to escape, but he was shot in the head and ended up crashing in between two houses, hitting a gas line.
He was taken to Houston Northwest Hospital with life-threatening injuries. The driver was not hurt.
So many shots were fired that bullet casings littered the street.
“It’s completely idiotic. I don’t understand the rationale of it,” said Robert Miller, a neighbor. “This kid bought his tennis shoes; you could do the same thing, instead of taking a life, or attempting to take a life behind a pair of tennis shoes. It’s just senseless nonsense violence.”
The suspects got away, leaving a shopping bag with tennis shoes inside sitting on the sidewalk.
It took two hours for Centerpoint Energy to shut off the gas.
Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

Theres a huge gap between the Concords and next "best" 11's. Just my opinion though.

Agreed.
Concords, cool greys and Columbia's look better to me.
Had 3 pairs of the OG Spacejams back i the day and loved em to death back then but they're wack to me now too. You can barely make out the lines of the shoe from distance, looks like any other nondescript black sneaker and those soles turn piss yellow in a heartbeat.
The hype for the XI's have taken a life of their own.
Glad that i can now see through it.

Why are people acting as if you have to go to INCREDIBLE heights to get a pair of shoes nowadays.... I sense alot of bitterness or something. Guess its easier when being in a city with a NikeTown.
But sending a direct message (basically a text) and go between a 6-8 hour window to pick up a pair of shoes in a highly secured casino/mall?
EASYYYYY

Guy I know got robbed at gunpoint for em today.
Dude was walking behind him and said, "damn those are some nice shoes huh."
My boy turns around and sees a gun pointed at him. Homie then said,
"I think I want those."
Dude gave his shoes up and walked away.
Crazy out here. This was in Texas btw. (Not Houston tho)
I remember the 11/12 CDP release in '08. Tons of goons lurking the parking lot waiting for $#@%'s to come out of the mall.

I wish there was someone way to hold Q liable for suit against him since he's welcoming this type of buffoonery.
I almost positive the owners of these videos aint getting release forms signed so can't they technically sue for him profiting off it?

I love Jordans, but it's just too much effort to get them these days. It's like, I'll try my luck online, but if not, then oh well, they're just shoes.

The videos are submitted and WSHH picks what to post . . . I'm sure there are terms you have to agree with before you submit, and I don't know anybody who has ever read a full "Terms and Conditions" . . .
Besides, let that man eat, it's not his fault the world is filled with such rachetness.
Salute to that man. Everywhere you go, when some buffoonery breaks out, no matter what the occasion or surrounding, you're 9 times out of 10 gonna hear, "WORLD STAAAAAAAA"

I'm not even surprised. It's almost expected that dudes will be dying when Jordan has a big release. This zombie like mentality is getting worse. Meanwhile Nike and MJ are sitting back getting their hand rub on. I thought about getting another pair of breds but nah I'm not participating in the this **** no more. Camping out and all this other stuff....nah.The Concords fiasco was it for me. I got my pair and I was done.
