Nike is reportedly nixing plans to release a sneaker in celebration of July 4 after NFL star Colin Kaepernick spoke out against using the Revolutionary War era flag design, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The company had planned to release the Air Max 1 USA for sale this week, featuring the early flag designed by Betsy Ross with a circle of 13 stars for the 13 colonies.

The Wall Street Journal reports Nike asked retailers to return the product after shipping them out, without explanation.

"Nike has chosen not to release the Air Max 1 Quick Strike Fourth of July as it featured the old version of the American flag," a Nike spokeswoman told the Wall Street Journal.


Colin Kaepernick is a small, insolent vagina

Yet he was silent when a notorious unethical prosecutor in his own backyard ran for attorney general, the Senate, and President.

Kaepernick and Rapinoe deserve each other. Can we deport them yet?

Nope. But somebody would have. Now nobody can because of Kappy's tender lil feelers. Why is a billion dollar company catering to this vag?
