Nike won’t release a shoe featuring the original version of the U.S. flag this week at the request of Colin Kaepernick.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the Air Max 1 Quick Strike Fourth of July, featured a logo of the original U.S. flag with 13 stars in a circle and designed by Betsy Ross,.
Kaepernick told Nike it shouldn’t use that version of the flag, as he and others consider it an offensive symbol due to its connection to a time when slavery was legal.
