i unforunatly was robbed at gun point for a pair of jays, when i was 16, was on my way to basketball practice and i would have to catch the city bus to school. i wore my blk/chrome 8's. while i was waiting there, a car pulled up, dude jumped out with a burner and told me to run'em. i walked back to the crib and told myself it would never happen again, so now i carry a piece.
just contributing to the problem now

Robberies & other shoe-induced crimes still go down. I almost got robbed by someone @ the mall the morning the Cool Grey Jordan XI released back in 2001. He backed off when I stood up to him. I saw someone get robbed for their 11/12 CDP on release day this past December. He got hit in the head from behind and the attacker ran like LT. The security guards tried to help, but the dude got away. Jordans are consistently popular releases and the really sought after pairs, such as Jordan XIs, do tend to induce Hurricane Katrina behavior out of people, no matter the age or sex. Those Jordans tend to sell out in minutes and when you throw in the fact that store employees often steal or have all kinds of shady dealings that make them even harder for people to buy, then you've got a disaster waiting to happen. The best things to do are:
1) Try getting them online. Make sure your computer is fast & reliable and that you're ready to order as the window is very small. Sites, like Nike/Finish Line/Eastbay tend to crash due to high volume. You may have to pay higher for them, but this is the safest way to get them.
2) If you have the hookup, then use it. This is better than point 1.
3) If you do have to go to the store, then go as early as you can. Find out when the mall or store opens, where you can wait, what entrance you can use and get out there at least few hours early. For example, if the spot opens at 5 AM, I'd try to be out there by at least 2AM. That way, you greatly sweeten your chances of getting your pair & avoiding drama, especially with linecutters. These cats (women are especially bad on this count) are the leading cause of a lot of the crime and crazy stories that you hear about. It's not uncommon for them to actually be the robbers that you hear about in the first place.
4) If possible, don't go alone. Even grown men can and do get clapped for not only their Js, but for their cash and other valuables on release days. If you do go alone, it's not crazy to carry a weapon. Like I say, you can across people who'll try you because they want something for nothing.
5) Know your surroundings. Malls or areas that're known for heavy crime are best avoided. Not only because you stand a better chance of getting hit up, but because stores like that usually have policies that make it harder on legit people to get the shoes because of the safety issue.
