Teenagers camp out overnight and brave '15 hour' queues in the pouring rain to get their hands on brand new Nike trainers
Hundreds lined the streets of Liverpool to get their hands on Air Max 95s, also commonly known as 110s.
A winding queue leading up to the Liverpool One shopping centre saw several tents and camping equipment as eager shoppers readied themselves this morning when the doors opened at 8am for the new Nike Mandarin trainers.
The boys travelled from far and wide for the chance to snag a pair—some as far as three hours away from Cumbria.
Tom Clarehugh came from Ainsdale and made it to the front of the ever-growing queue.
He started camping out on the night before on Thursday from 4.30pm. The Nike fan said he has about six pairs of 110s but is looking for a 'fresh new pair' after he wore them all out at festivals, he told the Liverpool Echo.
While others reported they had 'not slept' while camping out for Nike's latest shoes.
The store sold out of the £175 special edition shoes, which were only stocking 118 pairs and shoppers were only allowed to buy one each.
Only a handful of people were allowed in the shop at the same time in order to manage the crowds and limited stock.
Staff opened the shop an hour early for shoppers to salvage what they could and shortly after they emerged with bags of the sought-after trainers.
The in demand trainers have already gone on sale for hundreds more - with some flogging them for up to £800 - almost four times the original price.
The new Nike Mandarin trainers were created to celebrate '30 years of the iconic silhouette,' based on the 1987 edition, which saw the birth of the Air Max lineage.
Young Liverpudlians famously love Nike's 95s comes from the city's football culture which is often drawn from when it comes to shoe style.
Alongside the release today, Nike also surprised fans with the 'Reverse Neon' edition - flipping the classic OG colourway.
The limited edition trainers were also sold in shops across London, Manchester and Glasgow.

Cillian Murphy debuts striking new look as he transforms into struggling headteacher in first trailer for Netflix film that 'broke his heart'
Cillian Murphy debuted a striking new look as he transformed into a disheveled and exhausted headteacher in the first trailer for a Netflix role that 'broke his heart'. The Peaky Blinders and Oppenheimer star is taking on one of his most compelling roles to date as the principal teacher of a last-chance reform school. Upcoming film Steve follows a pivotal day in the life of the titular character as he fights to protect the school's integrity and prevent its impending closure. It explores the struggles of the students, as well as the mental battles faced by Steve - who gives everything he has to his job and what he perceives as his duty. And Oscar-winning Cillian Murphy is sleep-deprived and bleary eyed in the role, which has seen him grow out his greying beard and his curly hair. A deeply moving relationship develops between Steve and Shy, played by Jay Lycurgo - a troubled teen trying to reconcile his fragility with his impulse for self-destruction. Set in the mid 90s, Steve is a reimagining of Max Porter's bestselling novel Shy, a book Cillian said he was drawn to because of its powerful writing. After reading Shy for the first time, Cillian told Deadline: 'Max gave me that book in a proof edition before he finished it, and again it just broke my heart. 'They're the sorts of things I love as a reader and as a performer, so I really wanted to do something with him.' Porter has also penned the scripts for the upcoming film, and Cillian himself plays a vital behind-the-scenes role as one of its producers. The promising cast includes Tracey Ullman, Simbi Ajikawo, Emily Watson and Roger Allam. It comes as Barry Keoghan revealed what acting alongside Cillian Murphy was really like, as he gears up for the release of the new and highly anticipated Peaky Blinders film, The Immortal Man. The feature film, which is likely to come out within the next year, will see the infamous Shelby family of cut-throat gangsters transition into the Second World War. Described as 'one for the fans' to conclude the much-loved series, Barry is set to feature alongside Dune actress Rebecca Ferguson, Adolescence writer Stephen Graham and of course star of the show Cillian Murphy. It explores the struggles of the students, as well as the mental battles faced by Steve - who gives everything he has to his job and what he perceives as his duty And in a recent interview with The Mirror, the Saltburn actor revealed exactly what it takes to live up to Cillian's high standards. There is no slacking for him,' Barry said: 'And it's not in an intimidating way. It is in a way that he does not settle for less. He has an athlete's approach to it. Cillian is such a legend. 'He does not say anything, but you feel it.' Recalling the moment he first pulled his Peaky Blinders costume on, Barry told of Cillian's reaction: 'He (Cillian) was more excited to see me in my costume. He was like, "Ah man, look at you."' The Immortal Man isn't all Barry has to look forward to however, with it recently being confirmed that the 32-year-old will star in four upcoming biopics about The Beatles. With the movies planned for release in 2028, Barry will be playing Ringo Starr - who he was so nervous to meet that he couldn't look at the drummer. After being asked by Jimmy Kimmel whether he was able to 'study' Ringo when they met, Barry replied: 'I was.. and when I was talking to him, I couldn't look at him. 'I was nervous, like right now. But he's like, "You can look at me."' Despite his nerves, Barry did stress that Ringo was 'absolutely lovely' and that they sat in the garden 'chatting away.'
