) for them to treat my room.
Then i realized it had to be the kicks, there is no other way that we could have just gotten bedbugs out of the clear blue, b/c we keep a clean house.
i ended up having to trash my retroes.

I open the box and the air bag has been SLICED OPEN from the forefoot to the heel. I lift up the shoe and the steak knife he used was STILL IN THE BOX!

VISUAL AID

- On the Air Jordan XIV launch date, a couple is waiting outside the store before we're even open. The guy says he bought the shoes at our store (even though they just launched that morning and he was the first customer in the store) and he was given a men's shoe and a boy's shoe, so he wants us to give him a pair in his size. In the box he has one left men's size 9 shoe and one left boy's 7Y shoe (obiously displays from a window or shoe wall). I look inside the shoes and they still have the plastic inserts and price tags from The Athlete's Foot (not our store). I put the shoes behind our counter and explain that I'm calling The Athlete's Foot and the police and that he's welcome to stick around and tell his side of the story if he wants to. They bolt out of the store, and just to mess with them I follow them to their car and act like I'm writing down their license plate.
