The “Boss Like Ross” shoes aren’t “intended to be a political statement,” according to Reed. Rather, she wants the sneakers to help change people’s perspective and see things in a more positive light.
“These shoes aren’t about knocking Nike or Kaepernick,” Reed told the DCNF. “It was a great idea by Nike, and I respect anyone who stands up for what they believe in. I believe in women. Women that are getting ‘Out of Line’ and paving their own path, just like Betsy Ross.”
“…They were made to change people’s perspective,” Reed continued. “A perspective that is built around hate and is now erasing a key figure in American history. You can be patriotic and support equality. That is the foundation of America.”

Can I wear these if I go to the Red Hen for dinner?
And racist groups will snatch them up, leading moonbats to dig even deeper into the “flag represents hate” hole they’ve dug.
Better “Boss with Ross”, than “Crap with Kaep”.
Too bad the things are so ugly...
““Colin Kapernick’s name is everywhere,” Reed told the DCNF. “As much as I respect him and everything, this isn’t really about him. You can take something and see it however you want, and I’m choosing to see this flag in a positive way.”
I have to disagree with Reed here. If there are so many people out there openly treading on the backs of the people that gave everything for these scabs to take advantage to make millions, then why isn’t their face everywhere? A few make a little news here and there. Kapernick’s been in the limelight of putting his shoe into the middle of backs of real heroes since August of 2016, almost 3 years and has done nothing else but this to correct the problem he displays in this disrespectful, unpatriotic, loathsome, repulsive manner. All of which justifies he is a part of the problem and not one inch the answer to it. I have no respect for him or what he claims to represent which he is not doing. He’s gutless as he wouldn’t start to compare to the heroes he kneels on.

Would you let the Flag touch the ground, would you tread on the Flag, why would you want a Flag inspired sneaker that gets wet, dirty, soiled. Don’t get it.
Lighten up, Francis.
My Dad’s former company, Allied Chemical, used to own Converse, back in the 70s & 80s, but sold them. They went to hell after that.

“Literally Hitler”, said the soiboi, shaking...
My pleasure!
Agreed: Kaep has done nothing to help anyone except himself.
Too many people forget he was never fired by the 49ers; he walked away. He’d had some bad years and didn’t like being on the bench.
I’ve always believed he was nothing but a cheap stunt.
He falls under the category of the obsolete. He was workable for a couple of years as a running quarterback that was only successful outside the pocket. Linebackers and linemen got faster and smarter and he was destined to get his head removed and he knew it. And he isn’t a pro level pocket passer. He would have been suitable on the clipboard but dangerous on the field. And he’s got way too big an ego to ride pine, so he walked and found out he had insulted the wrong people and spit on the others.
