The NYPD had to respond after special 99-cent sneakers at a pop-up store caused a frenzy in Manhattan. The incident was reported at the highly anticipated Adidas/Arizona Iced Tea pop-up at Bowery Street and Spring Street around 9 a.m. Thursday. The themed sneakers were set to be released Thursday at 11 a.m. for less than a dollar. Video from Citizen App showed lines of people around the block standing in the rain. It is estimated several hundred, if not 1,000, people showed up to get their hands on a pair of the shoes. Some people even camped out overnight.
