Christmas Season 2011 sneaker heads had marked on their calenders. The release of the retro Air Jordan XI Concord was coming. Friday December 24Th would be the release date. Many collectors camped out around the country at malls and other stores that were selling the shoe Jordan wore during the 72 win 1995-96 season. Unfortunately around the country the $180 - $200 shoe that had not come out since 2000, caused havoc. Police and security needed to be called in to stop the madness. Store front glass windows being broke, fans running into stores and people being robbed of their shoes. Fast forward 3 months later the $220 Nike Galaxy Foamposites from the Penny Hardway collection were being released Friday February 24Th, 2012. The sneaker is a special model that was made because NBA All Star Weekend 2012 returns to Orlando for 1st time in 20 years a place Hardaway used to call home while starting is pro career with the Magic. However in Orlando at the Florida Mall and around the country people lined up waiting for stores to open. Not everyone was on their best behavior, riot like activity took place again. Those actions caused some stores around the country to stop selling the sneaker, basically putting it on pause to rethink the process in which they will be sold.
