Here's what it was like to buy the $100 Shake Shack-inspired sneakers made by Silicon Valley's favorite shoe brand, which were available for one day only in New York City (SHAK)

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.

After an hour-long wait, which was nail-biting since so many sizes were selling out so quickly, success!

Now, to actually unbox this thing. The green fabric handle gives you a hint of what's inside.
