Colin Kaepernick’s Air Force 1 sneakers with a not-so-subtle message sold out online

Whether you stand or kneel in them, a pair of Air Force 1 sneakers that Nike made in collaboration with Colin Kaepernick hit the market on Monday.

But you’re out of luck if you’re trying to order through Nike’s website or through the company’s SNKRS app, because the shoes quickly sold out online. You may be in luck if stores near you have them in stock, though.

While Nike is a major partner of the NFL, the brand made the 32-year-old activist the face of an ad campaign for the company’s 30th anniversary last year, despite the fact that Kaepernick has not played a snap in the NFL since 2016.
