Bravo! Colin Kaepernick’s New Nike Ad Literally Blew Up The Internet

The NFL player and shoe brand joined forces to make a powerful statement.

Nike has decided that Colin Kaepernick will be the face of its “Just Do It” campaign, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary.

  • ESPN’s Darren Rovell initially made the announcement on Twitter before the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback confirmed the news. Yahoo Sports later reported that Kaep and Nike agreed to a new contract despite he hadn’t been with the company since 2011. Per the report, Kaepernick signed a “wide endorsement” where he’ll have his own branded line, which will include shoes, shirts, jerseys and more.

    Nike’s ad is a picture of Kaep’s face and the caption “Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.”

  • People are going bonkers over the ad

  • This is just Colin Kaepernick’s latest victory. A judge recently stonewalled the NFL’s attempts at getting his collusion grievance against them thrown out. Arbitrator Stephen B. Burbank ruled there was enough evidence to require a full hearing.

    Congrats to Kaep! You know we’re with him!
