Authorities say there were no injuries or arrests late Thursday outside the Florida Mall. The crowd began getting unruly as hundreds packed the parking lot as they waited to buy the $220, limited-edition Nike shoe.

The Orlando Sentinel reported that the crowd was asked to wait across the street when the mall closed. But one person ran toward Foot Locker and others followed. Authorities formed a line and used shields to push back the crowd.

At a mall in Hyattsville, Md., police said Friday they arrested one person for disorderly conduct as a crowd of more than 100 awaited the shoe's release.
