Tempers flared in the queue outside Size? on Market Street as customers eagerly awaited the first day of sales for the new Air Jordan 4 SE Craft Photon Dust.
Customers were in the queue long before opening time at 9am on Saturday in a bid to be the first to get hold of the much sought-after sneakers, the Manchester Evening News reported.
Many had shown up the evening before to reserve a slot in the queue and staff had handed out tickets to confirm people’s place in the line.
But once more people joined the queue, a fight appeared to break out.

The video footage shows a crowd gathering outside the shop as swearing can be heard.
One man wearing a blue top is pursued by others before falling to the ground.
It appears he is kicked in the head in the clip and the MEN was told that the man was knocked out cold.
The Manchester Evening News was told that no one was robbed and the attack was not racially motivated.
