Are trainers (sneakers) the new political battleground? – BBC News
Former NFL player Colin Kaepernick is the newest face of Nike’s Just Do It campaign, a move which has divided opinion – and even caused some people to cut up their Nike clothes.
Kaepernick caused controversy in 2016 for kneeling during the American national anthem before matches.
But Nike is not the only company that got involved in a political debate, so are trainers the new political battleground?

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

This is stupid. Personally I feel that Colin Kaepernik is disingenuous to say the least. We all seem to forget that he forgot to throw the ball to his own team. He was benched, then he started to kneel. Months and years after socialist PACs uses him as a puppet, he signed a deal with Nike for both sides to make money.
I don't care what optics scheme Nike's PR team chooses to wait out the PC trend, I like their timeless shoes. I also like what they do for my feet since I don't have a desk job. Nike is a massive company. I'm supposed to ignore what I like and need just because of some corporate PR move? Yeah right.
So Nike is supposed to be for "woke" feet only now? Hmmm… What about Nike's aggressive lobbying collaboration with other footwear brands to protect the CCP's Uyghur concentration camps? Not so woke… Although, "woke" is subjective. Ignoring ethnic cleansing campaigns to protect a trading partner and adversary of a target demographic's partisan opponent may be just fine with some.
Too much nuance; too much hypocrisy. Sorry, but I don't care and neither do you. I buy shoes I like. My feet matter.
