Wow you think African Americans are the driving force buying Nike shoes? It is suburban white kids and old white males. Whites make up about 65-70% of Nike's consumer base. So since most Nike spokespeople are African American athletes, it is funny how AAs have brainwashed whites to over pay for sneakers haha.

As an old white male I can say with absolute certainty that I have never, not once, seen and old white man wearing a pair of 200 dollar Nikes. 50 dollar Nikes, lots of them. Kids yes, by the thousands. Old men, never.
I think it depends on what you consider old.I see white men in their 40s and 50s wearing 160-190 Air Max plus,Air Max 95 and Vapormax all the time.Never see folks in their 60s or above wearing them.
If an issue falls in the forest and the GOP is not there to bitch and moan about it, is it really an issue?

Coin Kaepernick Convinces Nike To Pull Flag-Themed Shoe
Colin Kaepernick apparently has a lot of influence over Nike ... because the quarterback-turned-activist convinced Nike to nix plans to sell a flag-themed sneaker Kap considered offensive.
The sneaker giant was set to put a new colorway of its popular Air Max 1 sneaker on the market this week, featuring an old U.S. flag with 13 stars from the American Revolution ... but according to a report in the Wall Street Journal, Nike pulled the shoe before it went on sale because Kaepernick complained.
Nike even sent the sneakers to retailers, but then the company asked to have the merchandise back.
Kaepernick, who is endorsed by Nike, reportedly reached out to The Swoosh with huge concerns after images of the shoe with the Betsy Ross flag started being posted online ... he thinks the imagery is offensive because of its connection to slavery.
We're told Kaep also took issue with the fact that two prominent white nationalist groups -- including the Patriot movement -- use the flag as a symbol for their group.
Kap was not alone in his criticism, tons of users on social media reacted to the imagery with similar concerns.
According to the Smithsonian, the Betsy Ross flag was created way back in the 1770s and its 13 white stars represent the 13 original colonies.
He hates women, that's why he hates the Betsy Ross flag.
