New Nike Kaepernick Shoe Honors Date He First Sat For National Anthem

Late for Christmas, but in time for a New Years’ gift, Nike is scheduled to release the new Colin Kaepernick x Nike Air Force 1 Low sneaker, which honors the date Kaepernick first sat during the national anthem by printing the date on the bottom of the shoe.

As SneakerBarDetroit reports, “”This special edition Nike Air Force 1 comes dressed in a Black and White color scheme. It features a Black leather upper, a gradient-faded Swoosh on the sides completed with several personal details. A hangtag with Kaep’s number 7 atop a White midsole and icy translucent outsole with the date Colin first took a knee in protest ‘8/14/16’ on the right shoe finishes the design.”
