Colin Kaepernick succeeds in getting Nike to pull a sneaker featuring an early American flag
Hey, we’re just days away from celebrating Independence Day, so how about a post on Nike deciding to yank a sneaker with an American flag on it so as not to offend Colin Kaepernick and crew?

shoe.

Can anyone clarify what Nike sees as offensive about this?

My favorite comment to the article: “Nike will start sponsoring Antifa soon.”

This makes more sense as to why. It's due to some groups who are using it. Not sure how I feel. I would have liked to have owned a pair.

CNN reporting that he didnt want them due to the early flags ties to slavery. Nike totally blew it imo. That is way too PC.
