Nike Presents Monochromatic Colin Kaepernick "True to 7" Jersey
Celebrating the four years that have passed since Kaepernick first took a knee on an NFL sideline.
After making a triumphant return to Madden NFL 21, powerful social justice activist Colin Kaepernick has teamed up with Nike once again for a monochromatic “True to 7” jersey. Following up 2019’s black/white “True to 7” jersey and special Air Force 1, Kaepernick and Nike Sportswear are using this all-black jersey to celebrate the fourth anniversary of the first time the former San Fransisco 49ers quarterback took a knee on an NFL sideline to protest systemic racism and police brutality.
A high-quality “Icon Edition” jersey, the stark design features Kaepernick’s #7 on the chest and a stylized K graphic on the collar. The jocktag offers a three-part design with a Swoosh, Kaepernick’s signature afro logo and another K hit. On the back, another #7 placed below Kaepernick’s name completes the simple-yet-powerful look.
Although the exact date Kaepernick first took a knee was September 11, the Nike Kaepernick “True to 7” jersey in all black will hit Nike SNKRS on September 17, retailing for $150 USD.
