Id like to see a timeline of this controversy. It doesnt pass the smell test.
How many shoes were actually produced? When did the mediocre ex-QB find out about the shoes? Does he have final vote for any and all Nike products? Does Nike have any other celebrity spokespeople? Do they each have a say-so?
Huge publicity stunt?
No doubt at all in my mind that Nike introduced the new sneaker with the specific intent of providing cop-killer-supporting communist Kaepernick the opportunity to do what he did, just prior to The 4th of July!
