Nike Axes Independence Day-Themed Air Max 1 After Colin Kaepernick Comments
The shoes donned a “Betsy Ross” flag on the heel.

The shoes were originally slated for a release to celebrate the upcoming July Fourth holiday, with Nike recently telling CNBC that it had “chosen not to release the Air Max 1 Quick Strike Fourth of July as it featured an old version of the American flag.” The company went on to ask retailers to return the shoes after they had been shipped.
