Colin Kaepernick gained recognition as more than a football player. The former Forty-Niner player worked for social justice, and now he works on shoes with Nike.
Kaepernick and Nike worked on the Air Force 1 sneakers together. There is a picture of Kaepernick at the heel and the date of the kneeling campaign’s start on the sole.
I’m not a big sneaker or football person, but these shoes look pretty cool. Also, it almost seems like it could be a jab at Trump.
The name of his private jet is Air Force 1, which is now a shoe advertised by someone he hates.
It’s subtle, but I like it.
Now, these shoes were supposed to hit the shelves on Dec. 23 but you may be too late. Streetjuicetv advertized on their twitter that these shoes sold out in 1 minute:
Why only make 2 pairs? I'm sure there's probably thousands of kids overseas without shoes.

I’m not surprised. These shoes seem to be quite popular on Twitter.
Yes, Kaepernick’s Nike sneaker sold out the 1st day it wt on sale. It retails just over 100.00.
