I must say that I am shocked that nobody started a thread about this action.

If you need size 10, Ebay has a pair for only 14K.

I think that shoe would be very popular, irregardless of Colin Kapernick's "issue"

I wonder what these people who failed to stand during the National Anthem have or are doing to help overcome the concerns they have? Does anyone know?? Or is the knell the best they can do.

Another stupid political ploy...on Independence Day at that.
Disgusting!

Colin Kapernick started this when the shoe came out, about a month ago. The OP posted it today.

Now the Betsy Ross 13 star flag is racist?? Give me a break people.
It seems that some white supremacist groups, including the KKK, have been using this version of the flag in their racist propaganda and promotional materials.

There's already more than one thread about it going on in the Attic, where it belongs, and where this one will probably be moved.

I heard that. I also heard that when that flag was designed that slavery was rampant in the US. So are we supposed to deny our history now? You know the KKK also uses the Cross in THEIR meetings. Should we outlaw the Cross? Crazy.

And the group was so small that NO ONE knew about them until now. FREE publicity.

So a washed up has been controversial quaterback that no one wants to risk can now tell corporate giants what to manufacture. Nike is stupidly going the wrong way on this. Not that I would buy their shoes with inflated pricing sold by inflated egotistical ex-athletes.
Everything can be racist now days if you want it to be. God I wish people could grow a brain and think for themselves.

According to his logic then, anything that occurred during the time of slavery is racist???
SO idiotic regarding the Colonial Flag...
I cannot believe that Nike succumbed.
