Dozens of so-called "sneakerheads" camped outside a Center City store, some for days, for the newest "need-to-have" pair of sneakers.

Not just any sneakers, but a pair designed by Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, drummer for the Grammy-winning hip-hop band, The Roots.

Thompson designed the $235 red, green and gold Air Force 1 sneakers as part of the shoe company's 1World collection, which will feature 18 designs over eight months.

The sneakers were released Tuesday at the Ubiq footwear store in downtown Philadelphia. By late Monday morning, 26 people had lined up in a makeshift sidewalk campsite.

I don't usually do these type of stories but this is too good. This is real 'AmeriKana'.
