If you thought that a little outbreak of Swine Flu would keep South of the Border sneakerheads from coming out to try to get their hands on the Black/Pink Nike Air Yeezy’s, you couldn’t be more wrong. Dedicated collectors lined up outside of the Nike Sportswear 1902 store in Mexico City this past weekend to try to be one of the lucky few to cop a pair of the highly coveted Kanye kicks. Unlike most sneaker-drop camp-outs, this one came with a few more hazards than usual, but a bunch of brave souls strapped on their surgical masks and a matching pair of kicks and went about their business as usual. Nike had a lot to be excited about in general with the incredible buzz and popularity of the Air Yeezy, but to know that kids are actually going to such extremes has to be reinforcing a huge sense of accomplishment out in Beaverton.
