Colin Kaepernick's First NFL Kneeling Protest Featured on Nike Air Force 1 Collaboration

There’s a special meaning behind the design of Colin Kaepernick‘s new Nike Air Force 1 collaboration.

The date of the 32-year-old quarterback’s first NFL kneeling is featured on the sneaker design.

According to Stadium Goods, the black and white shoe features an embroidered caricature of Colin, “K” branding on the tongue, and a “7” hangtag.

On the outsole of the right shoe is printed “08 14 16” (August 14, 2016), the day Colin first knelt in order to protest police brutality.

Fans can reportedly expect the Colin Kaepernick x Nike Air Force 1 Low to drop on December 28, though the company has not yet made an official announcement.
