Nike stopped selling sneakers in the colors of the American flag, dedicated to US Independence Day. Shoes criticized because of the images of one of the original versions of the American flag - 13-star "Betsy Ross flag", reports Tjournal with reference to The New York Times.
According to critics of the sneaker, the “Betsy Ross flag”, proposed in 1770's, reminds of the era of slavery, writes The Wall Street Journal. Also, this flag is now associated with a number of ultra-right groups.

Among the critics of shoe design was Colin Kapernik, an American football player who became the face of the Nike brand after protesting against racism refused to get up in the US anthem in 2016 year.
26 Jun Nike canceled the sale of sports shoes from Japanese designer Yun Takahashi - a post in support of the protests in Hong Kong appeared in the instagram of his Undercover studio. The media noted that this may be due to the fact that Nike is afraid of losing the Chinese market.
