Nike and Colin Kaepernick have had a well documented collaboration. The mega show-maker and the serial news maker have developed many projects together. However, once there was a situation where Nike didn’t exactly align with Kaepernick.
Back in 2019, Nike released a shoe named ‘Betsy Ross.’ According to a source, Colin Kaepernick told Nike the shoes were offensive because the original, 13-star American flag designed by Betsy Ross has a controversial past.

Even though Nike’s endorser Colin Kaepernick was opposed to the idea of those shoes, they were still sold for expensive prices. The ‘Betsy Ross’ was sold for up to $2,500 Tuesday on the online sneaker auction site StockX.
Michael Stone, the chairman of Beanstalk Group talked about the shoes and said, “Products that get pulled from the market become collectibles. It’s the nature of the beast. You think everyone is going to send them back? Especially if there’s the opportunity to make $2,500?”
Where is Colin Kaepernick now?
Colin Kaepernick last played in the NFL in 2017. Since then he has been trying hard to return to the league. However, all his attempts so far have been unsuccessful. Recently he had a workout with the Las Vegas Raiders and it went well. Surprisingly, no team has yet decided to take a chance on him.

The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback has been actively talked about in the media since his exit from the league. Everyone is always eager to find out what Kap is doing, but still, no team is showing interest in bringing him back to the league.
All his fans are eager to see him back on the field, but the chances are diminishing. The quarterbacks’ situation in the league is pretty tight currently. Many quarterbacks who have been a part of the league are also not getting their chances. As a result, the chances of Colin Kaepernick returning to the league in the upcoming season are looking very less.
