Amid backlash against Nike over its decision to use former quarterback Colin Kaepernick for its “Just Do It” campaign, U.S. congressman is saying that people should get rid of their Nikes and replace them with New Balances.
“With Nike hiring Colin Kaepernick, the San Francisco 49ers famed kneeling quarterback, who protest[ed] during our national anthem, there has never been a better time to show off your Maine-Made New Balance shoes!” said Maine Rep. Bruce Poliquin, a Republican, on Facebook on Sept. 6.
