Sneaker Madness



They started gathering yesterday (Mar. 22nd) afternoon. Parking themselves in front of the store with lounge chairs, they, mostly Asian men of ages 18-25, braved the cold. Waiting.

As I walked to the subway, I had to ask one of them what the fuss was about.
"Sneakers are coming out," he replied plainly. I shrugged and walked on.

Two days from now, Saturday March 25th, the Stash Blue Pack will drop.
So for another 2 days, they'll wait in line. I'm sure they've made complex arrangements for people to hold their spot. Today, a tent has emerged on the scene.

Crazy.

There's something for each person and if you have to have it, you have to have it.
