    Photographer Marie Claire Andrea hung out Thursday with sneaker aficionados outside Supreme at 274 Lafayette St., where they waited on line to snag the new Nike SB. The release prompted sneakerheads to sleep overnight outside of Supreme to grab a pair of these coveted shoes, originally marked at $98. This was the only store in New York where you could get a pair.

    Keni Thacher 33, was able to purchase a pair of Nike SB in Black size 11.5 He had come two weeks ago and Supreme had not released the shoes yet.

    "I didn't know there would be a line like this, I thought I was waiting for a night club."

    These customers had waited for at least three hours hoping to walk away with shoes in their size and preferred color. By 2 p.m., red sneakers were sold out.
