The Air Jordan XX8 will be released tomorrow, and D.C. police and retailers have collaborated to make sure that the event goes down without violence. According to First District Commander Daniel Hickson, police are working with retailers in the Capitol Hill area to ensure that the release is smooth:

Not only do the $250 sneakers drop during NBA All-Star Weekend, Michael Jordan himself will turn 50 on Sunday.
