Two teenagers were busted in a brutal beating that left a 16-year-old boy unconscious over a pair of Air Jordan sneakers in front of a Harlem McDonald’s earlier this month, cops said Thursday.  

Dijon Sellers, 18, and a 14-year-old boy — whose name was not released because he is a minor – were charged with robbery and gang assault in connection to the heartless Jan. 7 mugging outside the fast food joint on Broadway near West 145th Street, police said.

The attackers then snatched the Air Jordan sneakers the teen was wearing right off his feet, according to cops.
