Colin Kapernick has become face of Nike’s new ad campaign

Won’t be buying any Nike products. Other than being an NFL QB his claim to fame was kneeling for the National Anthem. Certainly his right as is my my right to hold disdain for Nike for promoting him. My 71 years and Vietnam service have probably “clouded my vision”, but I can live with that.

    So who will you be buying instead? Adidas? Reebok? New balance?

    Anything but Nike, that’s for sure. Even Payless cheapies before Nike now.

    Wait For It,,,,,,,,,, The Nike Kapernick ads will have, what for many, will be a perfectly balanced presentation. Logical, reasonable and buyable.
    A company that big does not make these decisions based on emotion or impulse. They've got actuaries and focus groups out the whazoo to do the numbers.
    Not what I would do, but personally, I will not buy Nike simply because they never seem to fit right.

    This ad has not gotten a positive review from many people in media and society. I doubt it will last very long. Especially since he isn’t on a team.

    Nike is way more expensive than other shoes that are built the exact same way. You are a sucker if you were buying Nike shoes to begin with.

    Is Nike selling knee-pads now? Why are they using that guy’s endorsement? No Nike here.
