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.

Nike reaps what they sow. They endorsed Kaepernick and wanted to run that whole “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything” campaign with him. Now its costing them millions in lost sales and the cost to produce all these shoes they’re probably going to destroy now.

I can't imagine having a vagina so big that I had to cave to everything Kaep wanted. This country has been around a helluva lot longer than him.

The early flag has also been appropriated by some extremist groups opposed to increasing diversity, The Wall Street Journal reports. The outlet noted a local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people spoke out against its use after a Michigan school district apologized when students waved it at a football game in 2016.

Nike & Colin Kaepernick are America's Racist Dream Team.
