15-year old Brooklyn, New York teen Isaiah Martinez is lucky to be alive this morning after getting shot Saturday, April 19, while attempting to buy a pair of the $250 Kanye West-designed Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Yeezy” sneakers.
Winesses say Martinez cut a long line of customers waiting to buy the shoes at a Brooklyn Foot Locker.
“There were people camped out for the sneakers and Isaiah tried to cut the line,” Martinez’s friend, Edison Cartagena, told the New York Daily News. “They get into a scuffle and one of the guys on line left and told Isaiah he was coming back with a gun. He came back and just fired off four shots. He probably shot him in the foot just to scare him off. I don’t think anyone should lose their life over a pair of sneakers. Thankfully he’s okay. The whole thing is just crazy.”
