Read online about a 16 year old kid who tries to jack a pair of Air Jordans from a woman and got caught. I know it is pressuring to look fly all the time, and with the pressures of social media greater than ever before, the rising cost of sneakers, and the unecessary need to keep up with the Joneses, this was bound to happen.
According to the Internet, a 15-year old teen named Antiono Maurice Boykin is being charged as an adult with attempted murder and shooting deadly missles in a robbery over a pair of sneakers. Officials say, Boykin, made contact with a 19-year old woman who was attempting to sell a pair of Jordans, presumably the Air Jordan XI Retro “Legend Blue” based on the article’s description, via Facebook. The parties agreed to meet and the female, who arrived in a vehicle accompanied by two men, met with Boykin who was waiting at the site with two friends. This certainly won’t be the last story of sneaker violence that we hear about.
