Shake Shack teamed up with Silicon Valley’s favorite shoe brand for these $100 sneakers, which were available for one day only — and I waited an hour in line to buy them (SHAK)

Allbirds

Earlier this week, popular burger chain Shake Shack and Silicon Valley-favorite shoe brand Allbirds announced they had teamed up to release a sneaker that would be available in New York City for one day only, on May 24.

The Shake Shack-inspired sneaker, which created in the style of Allbirds’ lightweight Tree Runner shoe, cost $ 100 to get — but it also involved standing in a monstrously long line on a hot day in Madison Square Park, smack dab in the middle of New York City.

And yet, lines formed as early as 5 a.m. Ultimately, Allbirds says that the shoes sold out in a little over three hours. 

Here’s what it was like to buy the $ 100 Shake Shack Allbirds shoes, and what they’re like to wear:

Since the Shake Shack-Allbirds shoes were available for only one day (May 24), and at one location (the original Shake Shack at Madison Square Park), there was a massive line.
