Nike’s new “True to 7” shoe with former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick sold out on the first day of its North American release, according to Nike’s website.
Kaepernick has been a controversial figure since he took a knee during the national anthem in 2016 to protest systemic racial inequality in the U.S.

Nike pulled the release of its July Fourth sneakers earlier this year after Kaepernick criticized the shoe for being offensive.
The $110 black-and-white shoe sports an embroidered portrait of Kaepernick on the heel tab, reflective Swoosh and his personal logo on the tongue.
