To “break out” something in a context

Now I am reading https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/collector-is-beyond-obsessed-with-nikes-i-once-had-600-pairs-of-brand-new-air-jordans-in-my-size-175307268.html and I don't understand this line with sorry.


>“Times have definitely changed a lot but my love of the Air Jordan has not,” Geller says, noting that he and his wife were married on 11/11, for which they each broke out a fresh pair of Nike Jordan 11s.


I think the verb ( bold one ) break out would mean "to buy", but my googling by "break out buy meaning" doesn't produce anything such. Could someone help me, will you?


I appreciate your support in advance.

It's AmE. It means to start using something in order to make it comfortable.
