@hypebeastkicks: @NIKE has decided to axe its upcoming Independence Day-themed Air Max 1 sneakers after @コリン・キャパニック notified the sportswear giant that the “Betsy Ross” flag embroidered on the heel was linked to a period of slavery and injustice. Nike has reached out to retailers to return the shoes.

@nike needs to take a step back & reevaluate their brand’s integrity. outside of this, @swaggyp1 & @ivanorama are blatant examples of them stealing design ideas for @giannis_an34 ... where is the credit for the creative??

Ya I remember I like the color way, but I saw the flag on the back and was like... oooh I don’t want ppl thinking I’m a racist, just change the design to a normal American flag

Forgive my lack of knowledge on the subject, but how does the OG American flag designed by Betsy Ross represent slavery and injustice?
