i don't get. is he mad Betsy Ross was a racist? pretty much every white person before the 20th century was racist, so why get hung up on it? just accept it as historical fact and move on. hell, even many abolitionists would be considered racist by today's standards.

Nike is a disgusting virtue signaling faggot company now. I hope it brings them more customers because they lost me. I spend like 400 euro on sneakers last year and it all went to other shoe companies.

Boy, those racist groups sure are taking ownershit of a lot of stuff. Milk, the american flag, the rebel flag(k, that ones kinda understandable), "dont tread on me" flag, MILK, CARTOON FROGS, THE INTERNATIONAL SIGN FOR "OK"...

Is this getting ridiculous yet? When are liberals just gonna say no, and not GIVE AWAY iconography? Cause it sure as fuck is making them look like idiots.

probably. their sales were 8% lower than anticipated and they're losing ground every year. their best selling segment, basketball shoes, is tanking hard. people who wore nike (LeBron, Kevin Durant, Zion Williamson) all suffered either catastrophic injury in the shoes or blew the shoe the fuck out in the biggest game of the year. The finals MVP is wearing fucking New Balance. The media favorite player wears Under Armor.

Meanwhile Adidas is gaining ground on lifestyle shoes and because of James Harden.

Nike can't afford many more missteps, they're losing ground quickly and losing their market dominance. This Betsy Ross controversy will sting again.

So yeah they're not going to survive losing many more customers.

I'm pretty sure nike has more than enough money to weather through any missteps and controversies. Remember the kaepernick ad drama? Nothing happened in the end.

>Publicity stunt

Especially happening right before the 4th of July.

These shoes released 6/29 and Nike issued the "official recall" 2 days later on 7/1. I'm extremely curious to find out how many stores actually had these in their possession and what kind of size run the stores who did get them received. A 4th of July themed Air Max 1 would have been produced in massive numbers and if release date was slated for 6/29, shoe stores would have received their shipments 1-2 weeks prior. Meaning hundreds of thousands of these shoes would have already been produced. While some reports claim the shoe was recalled, many others say it was "cancelled", implying there are shoe stores out there who had yet to receive their shipments. This being the case points to a total planned publicity stunt, as there's no way in he'll Nike wouldn't have already had these things ready, shipped and up for sale PRIOR to the 4th, if they ever intended in really releasing them.

Also, when Nike makes these kind of shoes with special logos, etc. They're almost always released in "packs"; ie: different models of retro shoes sold seperatley that all share common materials, colors and the same specialty patches. As far as I can tell, this Air Max is the only "Betsy Ross" Nike. Lots of little red flags standing out for someone who knows the sneaker industry relativley well.

I'd also be curious to see the production dates on the tags of "leaked" pairs. Most sizeable sneaker runs are manufactured 5-9 months prior to release. Only small batch runs have dates very close to the release date of the shoe.

Let's call or visit some shoe stores and ask if they received these shoes and if it's possible to see them. The "recall" took place 7/1, chances are any store that did get these (and I'm sure a very select few stratigically did) likley wouldn't have them shipped back out for return yet.

This is literally what happens in my country if you dare to use the flag in any way shape or form
You get called a far right just because of the civil war libtards
It's pathetic that people live in a place without respecting and accepting its history
The rights and the wrongs brought us here. Stop complaining or leave, as simple as that

>A Wall Street Journal report states that Kaepernick contacted Nike officials to express his displeasure at the use of a flag used during the time of slavery
Wait so let me get this straight. This is the exact same flag as the modern American flag except with 13 stars instead of 50 because at the time of the war for independence, there were only 13 states. It's the exact same flag design as today, they just added more stars when more states were created. And it was flown by revolutionaries as a symbol of independence.

So this retard thinks it's offensive because *at the same time* as the war happened, black slaves existed somewhere within North America? What a dumb nigger tbqh.

hey man, seeing you know you shit: i was thinking lately, maybe you can tell something on the topic: is it just my imagination or all those new fashion hype sneakers made of unservisable materials and colorways? Like all of them have suede, white meshes, colors that will probably run when washed. Or combination of materials make it so you cant take care of them properly. What the fuck? Are they doing it on purpose? So you ruin your new sneker as fast as possible?
