He Keep Winning: Colin Kaepernick's Air Force 1 Sneakers Sell Out On First Day

[sheshe2]

It’s official: the kicks don’t lie, and the numbers don’t either. Colin Kaepernick’s Air Force 1 sneakers sold out online the same day they were released, cementing his position as one of the most influential (former) athletes in the country.

This is a win for the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, who wasn’t picked up by any NFL teams for the upcoming season after his highly politicized NFL workout; and it’s a definite win for Nike, whose partnership with Kaepernick has increased its profits and popularity with a younger audiences, despite shoe-burning protests for its stand with Kaep.

The Air Force 1s feature luxe black leather, a silhouette of Kaepernick’s head on the heel tab, his logo on the tongue, and the date “08 14 16" on the right shoe sole. August 14, 2016 is the first time the football-player-turned-activist refused to stand for the national anthem before a game.

The shoes, showcasing Kaepernick’s signature afro, are as black and defiant as the football star. They are his way of kicking it to the man.

2. Not a fan of Colin. This is the guy who claimed Hillary and drumpf were the same.

Didn’t bother to vote.

I doubt he’s registered to vote now.

Lots of folks seem to love expensive sneakers in this country. People who worship sneakers amaze me.

But I’m not impressed by them.

6. I wouldn't buy anything for a name.

Least of all a guy who said the shitstain and Hillary were the same.

Yuck. I hope he fades into obscurity soon.

Pretty sure he will.

Air for Nike Air and Force One to mock the Con - this one will make it to the Smithsonian
