A little O/T but yesterday I called the flag store in Nolackaloonies, MT, to see if they had any Betsy Ross flags. The answer? “No! I wish I still did. I’ve been getting lots of calls. I’m completely sold out and the maker can’t get me any for at least a couple weeks! At least I’ll have some for next year.” So, the nike-krapperdick gambit backfired even here in Nolackaloonies.

Am I the only one who wouldn’t wear any of these because it equates with letting the flag touch the ground?

As long as the graphic isn’t of a full flag itself (i.e. moreso using “stars” and “stripes” in an abstract design), it’s NOT against Flag Etiquette.

I suppose the Gadsden Flag would have been too confusing for that towering intellect, Colin Kapernick. You know, “Dont Tread on Me” on footwear.

Had the same thought, especially in a world where shoes are used for insulting in some (enemy) cultures.

I’m in the shithouse with the old lady because I didn’t put her bunting up on my shop.
To my credit. I need to find a better way to secure said bunting.

Had a friend who would paint awesome stuff on Chucks, sold them for $300.
I told her it was cheap for the quality, buy old wood chairs at garage sales and paint the seat, background up the slats.
One 4th, she painted a waving US flag on the side of her shed.
Well, she outlined it and we helped with the fill in, it was amazing.
Happy Independence Day

You know these shoes will become available at some point.
I suggest we all buy a pair, cut the Betsy Ross flag off them and mail their crappy shoes back to them.
Because the Betsy Ross Flag is the only thing on those shoes worth having.

Didn’t like Nike long before the Colin thing. They never have men’s sizes, i.e. Ds.

They’re cute. But I could never wear soles like that, even as a kid. Not comfortable.

Single motherhood is woven into every American woman???
Liberal man haters seem to run this site. Thanks but no thanks.
F*ck Nike! I’d get the Betsy Ross flag but no way would I purchase any of their products.
They’re exactly like their products, nothing but garbage.
Well I read the product description and I left with the feeling that I don’t want to support this company
