Knowing Kaepernick, he probably prefers his sneakers with pictures of dead soldiers, policemen and firemen on them.

And I think she would not like the flag on the heel of a shoe.

Nike has lousy shoes anyway. I never buy any of their gear and I’m at the gym almost daily.

I am sure Colon would not like any of the values the colors of flag represent: According to custom and tradition, white signifies purity and innocence; red, hardiness and valor; and blue signifies vigilance, perseverance, and justice. No wonder he is a washed up quarterback.

What’s next?

A Series of sneakers honoring the Black Panthers sent to prison for murdering law enforcement officers?

I wouldn’t doubt it.

Nike is headquartered in Seattleistan, right?

Beaverton, suburb of Portland... Tektronix is there, too, but no player will ever use their gear or know what any of it does.

Nike is so popular with certain demographic groups that when it comes time to loot, Nike stores are on the top of the list.

We as the majority should start using our power of the purse and send these companies and corporations a clear message.

We’ve had a great experience since driving anti-American NIKE.

Fila shoes? MUCH better quality. As are so many other brands.

Nobody in my family wears NIKE...

(auto-correct...) Since DROPPING NIKE.

But since I mention it, BIC also makes a better razor than Gillette.

I wouldn't wear a pair of shoes with the flag on them.

Shirts yes...shoes no.

Hey - you have to remember - without gang-bangers, drug dealers, and street trash - Nike would lose on their high-profit, high-end shoes.

If NB (I believe mine are made in America) put out a patriotic shoe they would sell like hot cakes.

Maybe that’s why Kaepernick did it. Nike was “dissin’” the flag. LOL.
