Nike is nixing its "Betsy Ross flag" sneaker after Colin Kaepernick reportedly asked the company to reconsider the design, which he suggested some might find offensive. Boxes of the shoe, a Fourth of July design, had already been shipped out when Kaepernick intervened, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. Nike then asked retailers to return the sneakers, saying they feature an "old" version of the American flag.
