Nike released a new Colin Kaepernick jersey and it sold out in seconds on Nike’s SNKRS app

After months of waiting, Nike finally released some new Colin Kaepernick gear to the public on Thursday. It was released in celebration of the fourth anniversary of the first time he knelt during the national anthem.

They unveiled a new Colin Kaepernick monochromatic “True to 7” football jersey on Wednesday afternoon and dropped a notification that it’d be released on Thursday.

The jersey was available on the SNKRS app, of course, like every other piece of exclusive gear Nike has. It came in a triple-black colorway with both the lettering of his name and his number in black. The previous version had white lettering.

It’s a pretty slick look, to be honest. And it means a lot to Kap, clearly.

But, yet again in true SNKRS, it sold out in just seconds. Disappointment was in abundance across the internet.

There were some W’s, but they came few and far between.

Shouts to everyone who managed to cop. Better luck next time to those who didn’t. They’ll need it.
