Fights Erupt At Stores Across The Country Over The Release Of The New Air Jordan Sneaker

The highly anticipated release of the Air Jordan 11 Gamme Blue led to fights in multiple American cities Saturday morning.

At a Finish Line in Stockton, California, a few customers, one shirtless, fought inside the store. Fox 40 in Sacramento reported that police were called but by the time they arrived everyone had fled the scene and no arrests were made.

At the Southwest Center Mall in Dallas, police were called at 6 a.m. after a group of people tried to cut the line. No arrests were injuries were reported, by later in the day there was a shooting in the food court involving "two rival groups of young men," according to NBC.

It's unclear that incident was related to the sneaker release.
