Its hard to believe that it has been four years since NFL Star and social justice activist Colin Kaepernick took a knee to protest police brutality against black and brown people. The courage that he displayed on September 11 resulted in the league and owners blackballing him from playing the game that he loves.
This all-black “True to 7” jersey is a follow-up to the 2019 black and white colorway and celebrates the four year anniversary of the former San Francisco QB taking a knee on the sidelines, protesting police brutality and systemic racism.
This “Icon Edition” jersey features Kaepernick’s #7 on the chest and his logo branding on the collar. The jocktag offers a three-part design with the Nike Swoosh, Kaepernick’s signature afro logo and another K logo.
Although it’s clear that Kaepernick is continuing to be ostracized, many companies have begun to open their eyes to his true mission. With Madden 21 finally adding the quarterback in the game and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell admitting to handling the situation all wrong, it’s clear to see why Nike’s ongoing support of Kaepernick has been so crucial.
The Nike Kaepernick “True to 7” jersey will hit the Nike SNKRS app on September 17, retailing for $150 USD.

Neymar Jr. has departed from Nike, ending a 15 year relationship with the iconic sports brand. The Brazilian football star now has his sights on Puma and wearing the KING football cleats.
Neymar Jr. took to Twitter, celebrating the move stating:
“I grew up watching videos of great football legends such as Pelé, Cruyff, Matthäus, Eusébio and Maradona. These were the KINGs of the pitch, the KINGs of my sport. I wish to bring back the legacy that those athletes created on the pitch. They each played in PUMA, and each of them created their magic in The KING. Every time I lace my boots, my KING boots, I will do anything to achieve all of my dreams to honor my name and that of all those great ones who wore the KING before me. This will be my PUMA history. The KING is back!”

StockX is getting a lot of attention due to a class-action lawsuit stemming from the 2019 data breach, according to Complex.
As originally reported by TechCrunch, StockX knew of the data breach in May, but the reselling company did not give a detailed notice to its users until well-after. Also of note, the platform called this mishap a “system update” in which it issued an email recommending its users to update passwords and emails.
The lawsuit goes as follows:
As a result of StockX’s negligent, intentional, or unconscionable failure to adequately satisfy its contractual, statutory, and common-law obligations, Plaintiff’s PII was accessed, acquired, stolen, and re-sold by thieves for the express purpose of misusing Plaintiff’s data and causing further irreparable harm to Plaintiff’s personal, financial, reputational, and future well-being.
StockX co-founder and face of the company, Josh Luber, had this to say about the breach courtesy of the Complex Sneakers podcast recently:
“We didn’t have enough information to make a full disclosure, to say everything that was going on,” Luber said, “but we knew that we needed to update everyone’s passwords and lock everything down ASAP.”
Luber just recently made headlines, stating that he will be leaving the company and plans to start another start-up company.
StockX argues that the ability to file a class-action lawsuit is void when users agreed to StockX’s terms of service. The plaintiffs in the case are seeking monetary compensation.
StockX has until the end of September to respond to the matter.
