The Nets Shop by Adidas opened early Monday to lines of eager basketball fans looking to get the first peek at jerseys, basketballs, sneakers and other apparel emblazoned with the team's black and white logo.
Outside the store, Bed-Stuy resident Winston Gladstone proudly displayed his haul: A $30 basketball signed by Brooklyn Nets player Brook Lopez and a $32 tank top for his 18-year-old daughter.
"I think I made out pretty well," Gladstone said.
NoLandGrab: No, chief, no you didn't. But Bruce Ratner, the Russian Oligarch and the owner of the Chinese factory who manufactured your swag did just fine.
