Left to right: Dain McCarron, Aaron Farnworth, Jack Henshaw and Leighton Hodgkinson were some of the first people to get their hands on the trainers. They said they’re “made up” and will be heading straight to bed when they get in @LivEchonews https://t.co/bjlT3NdelR

The store usually opens at 9am, however it has opened earlier today at 8am so people could get their hands on the shoes. The new design marks “30 years of the iconic silhouette” @LivEchonews https://t.co/oj8OfdZHoL

The first few people have been allowed in to buy their trainers. Only a few customers are allowed in at a time @LivEchonews https://t.co/80PDlmz0Iv

The shutters have opened and people are waiting to head inside @LivEchonews https://t.co/wMwoC4hFJR

Tom Clarehugh, from Ainsdale, is one of the people at the front. He’s been here since around 4.30pm on Thursday. He said he has about six pairs of 110s but has “they’re a mess” after he’s worn them to festivals so is looking for a “fresh new pair” @LivEchonews https://t.co/7HGWHxeLIO

When I first arrived at around 7.15am this morning. The queues reached the Liverpool One toilets and it has stayed around that length. I’ve been told by people in the queue there’s around 118 pairs of trainers and people are allowed one pair each @LivEchonews https://t.co/e04LvKWkhS

Dain McCarron, 25, has travelled three hours from Cumbria to the city centre store to get his hands on the trainers @LivEchonews https://t.co/XomZBAJ2cD

People have been kitted out with tents and camping chairs. The earliest people came was around 4pm yesterday (Thursday). Most people told me they’ve “not slept” @LivEchonews https://t.co/PwTOLNnVPa

Good morning, I am on Paradise Street in Liverpool city centre where there are long queues for the new Nike Mandarin 110 trainers. People have been queuing overnight to get their hands on them @LivEchonews https://t.co/OKxMTI0aI9

Another person said they saw an ambulance and believed someone was taken away in it, however this is unconfirmed and we are waiting for a statement from Merseyside Police @LivEchonews https://t.co/wSYbYc1vHb

One person said: “I just heard and then saw all the sirens.” @LivEchonews https://t.co/HlfSgfhOzo

Eyewitnesses at the scene said they saw a car being searched by police officers following the incident. We have approached Merseyside Police for a statement @LivEchonews https://t.co/fu6rogXGWj

There are several officers here. People are being diverted away from the cordon and having to go around via the streets which are not blocked off @LivEchonews https://t.co/BkfFHfUQwg

The cordon reaches the junctions of Luxmore Road and Emery Road. Some of the cordons on surrounding roads have since been removed @LivEchonews https://t.co/2YWRsyQ4ut

People living near by the scene are not allowed to enter through the cordon. A police officer said it was an “active investigation” @LivEchonews https://t.co/KMJe471Dym

Good evening. I’m currently near City Road in Walton where there is a police scene and a cordon in place. Multiple roads off City Road were blocked off, however some of these have since been removed. The main cordon surrounds City Road @LivEchonews https://t.co/wOIoEZggeh
