Colin Kaepernick may not have an NFL job, but the social activist and former San Francisco 49ers quarterback is proving he's still marketable as a new $110 Nike shoe bearing his image sold out within minutes of its release on Monday.
Nike released the shoes at its own stores, select retailers and via the SNKRS app.
The secondary market is heating up too, with StockX offering pairs for $156, and as high as $380.
Some retailers have agreed to donate profits to charities supported by the outspoken Kaepernick.
Nike has not released sales figures, but the Air Force 1 x Colin Kaepernick, which has his black-and-white image emblazoned, is currently unavailable in North America, according to multiple reports. '
As a football star with the ability to articulate a powerful message, Kaepernick is one of this generation's most prominent crossover cultural influencers,' reads a description of the sneaker, also referred to as the 'True to 7.'
EDITOR’S NOTE: Fuck Kaeperdick and boycott Nike!!
(You say I misspelled Kaeperdick’s name. No shit!)
