Former NFL star Colin Kaepernick reportedly pressured Nike over the footwear emblazoned with 18th century U.S. flag.
Another said:"Nike is pulling American flag shoes, and they expect us to listen to their complaints about Trump's China tariffs? It's abundantly clear these multinational corporations have lost their loyalty to our country."
Another wrote:"I'm an AF vet and mom of two active duty Army. We love the flag. Nike will be our running shoe of choice. Watch their stock go up!" It is not clear what pressure Kaepernick brought to bear on Nike. The former quarterback played for the San Francisco 49ers and in 2016 he knelt during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racial inequality.
Last week, Nike withdrew a limited edition shoe from China after its Japanese designer expressed support of the Hong Kong protests, Bloomberg reported.
