Teenagers camp out overnight and brave '15 hour' queues in the pouring rain to get their hands on brand new Nike trainers
Teenagers desperate to get the newly released Nike trainers were braving 15 hour queues and camping overnight in the pouring rain. Hundreds lined the streets of Liverpool to get their hands on Air Max 95s, also commonly known as 110s. A winding queue leading up to the Liverpool One shopping centre saw several tents and camping equipment as eager shoppers readied themselves this morning when the doors opened at 8am for the new Nike Mandarin trainers. The boys travelled from far and wide for the chance to snag a pair—some as far as three hours away from Cumbria. Tom Clarehugh came from Ainsdale and made it to the front of the ever-growing queue. He started camping out on the night before on Thursday from 4.30pm. The Nike fan said he has about six pairs of 110s but is looking for a 'fresh new pair' after he wore them all out at festivals, he told the Liverpool Echo. While others reported they had 'not slept' while camping out for Nike's latest shoes. The store sold out of the £175 special edition shoes, which were only stocking 118 pairs and shoppers were only allowed to buy one each. Only a handful of people were allowed in the shop at the same time in order to manage the crowds and limited stock. Staff opened the shop an hour early for shoppers to salvage what they could and shortly after they emerged with bags of the sought-after trainers. The in demand trainers have already gone on sale for hundreds more - with some flogging them for up to £800 - almost four times the original price. The new Nike Mandarin trainers were created to celebrate '30 years of the iconic silhouette,' based on the 1987 edition, which saw the birth of the Air Max lineage. Young Liverpudlians famously love Nike's 95s comes from the city's football culture which is often drawn from when it comes to shoe style. Alongside the release today, Nike also surprised fans with the 'Reverse Neon' edition - flipping the classic OG colourway. The limited edition trainers were also sold in shops across London, Manchester and Glasgow.
