Nike's Betsy Ross Flag Shoes Selling for More Than $2,000 Online After Being Pulled

Nike's Betsy Ross flag sneakers are selling for more than $2,000 online after the brand nixed plans to release the shoe ahead of the Fourth of July.

After The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that the shoe was recalled, over a dozen pairs had sold on StockX on Tuesday. Multiple sneakers sold for over $2,000, with the highest purchase being a size 8 pair that went for $2,501. According to StockX, the shoe's original retail price was $120.

The Air Max 1 USA, which features the early flag designed by Betsy Ross, was set to hit the market until former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick reportedly reached out to Nike with concerns over the shoe.
