Persuasive Essay

I am against sneaker stores from stopping over night camp outs for limited sneakers. I believe sneaker stores should have more organized sneaker releases for the following three reasons. One reason why sneaker stores should have more organized releases is it just might stop over crowding lines in the morning. Also if sneaker stores were to have more organized releases it will prevent violence from happening over limited sneakers. Finally sneaker stores should have more secure and safer releases for limited edition sneakers. The first reason I'm in favor of safer and more secure sneaker releases is because in Orlando Florida at the Florida mall, a major sneaker release happened. The Air Foamposite One "Galaxy" was released there. People have been lining up for about 6 days in front of sneaker stores around the world for this one sneaker. In New York, Manhattan only three stores had them in the city, 12th street, 34th street house of hoops, and Times Square footlocker. Its __amazing__ because not even Nike's own Manhattan retailer, Nike Town Ny could get their hands on a couple pairs, Just to show you how limited these sneakers were. Florida mall erupted in riots at that midnight release, people being pushed in lines, fights breaking out, & police helicopters surrounding the mall. These riots were so bad that Florida mall decided not to release the sneaker there and no one at the mall got their pair. The reason for these riots were because Florida mall had a first come first serve basis release and that's what causes riots, because if people see they're too far back in line, they start pushing to get there pair. The second reason I'm in favor for safer and more secure releases is because if people don't their pair of sneakers, people just might do anything for them. Across the United States, thousands of people lined up at their nearest mall or sneaker store to purchase a pair of Jordan 11 "Concords", Dedicated shoppers starting rioting for pairs of concord's in Seattle. Shoppers literally starting breaking down doors at the mall and even fights broke out, shots were even being fired for these concord's, and bad enough people who actually purchased the sneaker got robbed on the way home. The reason for this violence at these sneaker releases is not because Nike, nor Air Jordan make sneakers so limited, but the fact that sneaker stores don't care for the safety of these dedicated sneaker heads. These sneakers stores just want their money so they don't care what type of release they have because they know people are gonna be lining up for a pair anyways. Finally, I think sneaker stores should have more safer and secure releases because now that Nike and Air Jordan come out with very limited retro sneakers, people will do anything to get they're pair. Not only the shoppers will do what they can to get a pair, but the gang banger "stick up kids" will do what they can to get they're limited edition sneakers they cant afford. The Nike Dunk SB low "Pigeon" is a very limited edition sneaker that was sold in New York only. Only 202 pairs were made and 30 released at Flight Club New York, each person who brought a pair was escorted through the back door of the store and had a personal taxi waiting for them. Even with rioting crowd's and stick up kids on every corner surrounding the store, No one was hurt because this was a actual organized, safe, and secure sneaker release. This is how most sneaker stores should be with such limited sneaker releases. Some may say that the reason why Florida mall erupted in riots over The Foamposite Galaxy's is because the sneaker was so limited and the price for them can be flipped from $240 to $1,600. My rebuttal against that is that's why sneaker stores should be more organized with their releases not first come, first serve basis. Others also may say, even if the release is more organized, that doesn't mean people wont get hurt for their pair. My rebuttal against that is that's why sneaker stores need to be more safer with extra security outside or more cops to have things under control.
