Black Friday is the busiest retail shopping day of the year, and it is also one of the busiest shopping days for sneaker enthusiasts. Thanks to Nike, Jordan Brand and a few other retailers, Black Friday has been one of the premier sneaker release days of the calendar year since 2008. While the rest of the world prepares to wait in line for discounted high-dollar items, sneakerheads wait on Black Friday much like they do on many other weekends of the year. We’ve seen numerous camp-worthy Black Friday sneaker drops throughout the years, and we’ve compiled them all here. So, read on and let us know if you copped any of these exclusive releases, and also tell us if you plan on copped (or still plan on copping) any of this year’s Black Friday drops.
