Apparently, Nike has continued appropriating culture in the form of sneakers . If you’ve been around the Puerto Rican Day Parade in the last couple of years you probably seen the “Air Boricuas.” Nike is now producing Air Force One’s that sport the African Liberation Flag (Red, Black, and Green). Isn’t it amazing how Nike is so dedicated to people of color, except for when it comes to changing their conditions in sweatshops.
