Colin Kaepernick may not have an NFL job, but the social activist and former San Francisco 49ers quarterback is proving he's still marketable as his new $110 Nike sneaker bearing his image sold out within minutes of its release on Monday.
Nike sold the shoes at its own stores, select retailers and via the SNKRS app. The sneakers can be acquired for resale, but one website, FlightClub.com, is asking as much as $950 for a pair.
Some retailers have agreed to donate profits to charities supported by the outspoken Kaepernick.
Nike has not released sales figures, but the Air Force 1 x Colin Kaepernick, which has his black-and-white likeness emblazoned on the back, is currently unavailable in North America, according to multiple reports.

Wow! Are they in negotiations with Beau Bergdahl?
He should make Nike gazillions!
We white people call it the “Stupid Tax”.
The insanity of it all.
“our social pathologies can largely be blamed on white liberals who crafted the welfare state and ushered in the destruction of the black family.”
Bingo.
Fools indeed. Fact is this isn’t, as Nike says, the anniversary of his knee taking. Nope, nope, nope. Even little ol’ me found and posted pictures of him taking a knee and sitting it out years earlier. He’s just a lazy bum who can’t be bothered to stand. It was his muzzy gf who scrambled to come up with an excuse for his laziness.
This is very surprising (assuming it is actually true).
Because the kind of people who love Colin Kaepernick and love to have the newest , flashiest sneakers, don’t usually actually buy them.
If you get my drift.
Nike is just playing to their most loyal demographic.
Good for business with the inner city underclass feral species of animals.
Fools and YOUR money. You do not think they are paying for that crap with wages from a job, do you?
But CK is still on the sidelines. He won’t be remembered for his athletic skills.
New Balance has done the best by me in terms of shoes.
I doubt I’ve ever had a pair of Nikes.
To the people who bought these shoes, you define PT Barnum’s quote of “A fool and his money are soon parted.”

There are suckers born apparently faster then every minute who knew....
There’s one born every minute.
No Nike anything for me!
The same morons who used to make $Millions$ tossing a brown ball around a wooden court and now wash cars for a living because they had to had everything that was thrown at them.
There’s also a No. 7 hangtag, Kaepernick’s jersey number.
Kap is a typical lefty hypocrite: slams the US for an occasional police misdeed, but profits from shoes manufactured by cheap labor in a country filled with slave camps, and sold in the US at an enormous mark-up.
