He Keep Winning: Colin Kaepernick's Air Force 1 Sneakers Sell Out On First Day

It’s official: the kicks don’t lie, and the numbers don’t either. Colin Kaepernick’s Air Force 1 sneakers sold out online the same day they were released, cementing his position as one of the most influential (former) athletes in the country.

The Air Force 1s feature luxe black leather, a silhouette of Kaepernick’s head on the heel tab, his logo on the tongue, and the date “08 14 16" on the right shoe sole. August 14, 2016 is the first time the football-player-turned-activist refused to stand for the national anthem before a game.

The shoes, showcasing Kaepernick’s signature afro, are as black and def
