Dominique Thomas, 20, sat outside the Niketown store for more than three days, determined to be the first person to get a limited-edition LeBron James shoe.He flew in from Denver on Sunday night, Adidas ZX Flux Womens took a nap at the airport and then went straight to Michigan Avenue, equipped with a lawn chair, a tent, an umbrella and lots of layers.
By 9 a.m. Thursday, nearly 100 other sneaker aficionados joined Thomas, forming a line that Nike Free 5.0 Damen snaked around the corner, as people waited for the Nike Air Force 1 Chamber of Fear LeBron James shoe. About 150 pairs of the $90 special-edition, gray suede shoes were up for sale. The shoes were part of an ad campaign in which the Adidas ZX Flux Femme Cleveland Cavalier faces five fears, each fear represented by a unique shoe.
"This is basically a holiday for shoe fans," Thomas said, most of his face covered by the hood of his jacket. "You can talk with other shoe fans. I can't explain it. Shoes are my passion. It's in my soul."Thomas, who has more than 75 pairs of Nike shoes, started collecting them because he admired Michael Jordan. Though this is the longest Thomas has waited in line, he spent three days at the front of the line for the release of the shoes in Denver.
"I just take pride in being the first person in line to buy shoes," Thomas said.Nike Roshe Run Womens "I'll be the first person to get it. It's real worth it."The shoes, which did not go on sale until 9 p.m., were only available at the Chicago store. Different versions of the shoe were unveiled in San Francisco, New York, Denver and Cleveland.
Bryan Lorenzana, 28, sat next to Thomas, rubbing hand warmers in the pockets of his sweat shirts. Lorenzana, who drove about an hour to get to the store, is intent on adding to his shoe collection and will sacrifice comfort Adidas ZX 800 Womens to have the latest model.
"Depending how bad I want the shoe, I can wear an 11 with no socks and no insole or a 14 with two pairs of socks," he said. "I'll do whatever it takes."
