*Nike‘s decision to use Colin Kaepernick as the face of its latest ad campaign has some sports fans destroying their shoes — and others rushing out to stock up!
Instead of donating the items to the homeless or veterans in need, these so-called “patriots” are taking pride in sharing images online of them destroying their Nike shoes, socks, and other products in protest.
Check out a few of these images below.
Kaepernick has been endorsed by the brand since 2011, and the new ad featuring the former 49er reads: “Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.”
The ad has some people so upset that even famed country singer John Rich of the duo Big & Rich tweeted a photo of his sound man’s socks that had the Nike swoosh cut off. He captioned the photo, “Our Soundman just cut the Nike swoosh off his socks. Former marine. Get ready @Nike multiply that by the millions.”

Lil Rel Howery’s new show, “Rel,” centers on a loving husband who learns his wife is having an affair with his barber but the comedian told Page Six that “The show was not built on tragedy.”
Howery, a divorced dad of two, added: “I think people see it as based off the line of: The barber cheated with his wife. But it’s [also] me on my BS.”
On the dating scene in real life, Howery recalled one recent match made in hell:
“It was a girl I met. I went on two dates with her . . . For some reason she [later] got locked up. Her daughter called me like, ‘My mom is in jail; you got to bail her out.’ I’m like, ‘First of all, who is this?’ I never met the kids and I only went on two dates. How’d she even get my number? I was like, ‘I’m not bailing you out of jail. I want to know what you did!’”
The show debuts Sunday.
