Foot District Slot Machine Sneaker Release Air Max 1 1

Sneaker shop Foot District in Madrid, Spain is getting creative with their sneaker releases, giving a whole new meaning to the “lottery” system of determining who can buy limited releases. For last weekend’s launch of the Air Max 1 “Anniversary”, Foot District created a slot machine system, essentially making the quest to cop sneakers into a a fun and interactive game.

Here’s how it worked: First, a total of 100 tickets were distributed among the consumers. Then each sneakerhead competed to win a chance to buy their size by hitting the slot machines. Whoever got the highest score among those competing for each shoe size won.
