Wait a minute, Slick. I had it on good authority that jerknubbin Kaepernick had enough pull to bully a $29 billion, Fortune 500 corporation into kissing his sorry ass, and not make the BETSY ROSS FLAG shoe. Because eebil racism, or something.
Yet, it turns out there's a 'limited supply' possessed by those in the know? *wink *wink
And they're making a killing off that scarcity? *wink *winkety *winky
From Newsweek (who no one realized was even still publishing):
"While the company's decision sparked a cultural discussion about the significance of the flag and the history of the country, buyers rushed to purchase the shoes, and the price quickly ticked upward.
A pair of the "Betsy Ross" sneakers reportedly sold for $2,500 on e-commerce website StockX after Nike announced that it would be pulling the shoe. But the price has since skyrocketed. By midday Friday, 99 people had bid on a single eBay post, which had received an offer of $15,000.
"I have NEVER seen so many watchers or views, and it has to be the hottest item on eBay right now. Call it patriotism, the need to have something you have been told you can't have, or just a desire for shoe or antique collectors (these could be historical one day), they are paying amazing amounts," Isaiah Miller, the seller of the shoes, told Newsweek in an email.
Miller described himself as a 21-year-old entrepreneur and said that his primary business is on eBay. He said that he had purchased the shoes from another buyer, writing "the seller was getting a LOT of harassment and threats, and so she decided to just sell them to me at a Buy It Now price."
Got that? "seller was getting a LOT of harassment and threats" - because that's how the intolerant, hateful Left rolls when triiigggerrred - over pair of frikken shoes.
Has the SPLC declared mean Ol' Betsy an enemy of the people, yet?
