It never was about disrespecting the flag or the military for NFL protesters. It was always about protesting police brutality and the disparities in the American criminal justice system. No true patriot or critically thinking American is going to have fainting spells over citizens and residents exercising their constitutional rights in a legal and peaceful manner. The intent was and still is to make what the flag is supposed to represent a reality. You can make your protest about whatever you want but don't get it twisted about Mr. Kaepernick's intent, purpose of resolve. Personally, I fail to see why see many people get so worked up and upset over a racists song and a piece of cloth. In any case how Nike choses to run its business operations is up to strategic C-level leadership at Nike and not NFL protesters. If you want a pair stop whining and drop Nike a line. If that does not work for you try reaching out to Mr. Kaepernick. Maybe he can use his influence as a Nike spokeperson to get you a pair or two. Please try not to be a complete asshole when you do get around to asking.

Kaepernick is pushing an agenda that has no validity in fact.
contrary to the liberal racist agenda, police do not randomly decide to arrest blacks. not even black police officers who were invloved in the Baltimore case and many others. odd that you nor Kaepernick make any reference to black officer's actions against blacks or any other race?
can you explain why?
