Dear sir in regard to your promotions with Colin Kaepernick â you have all kinds of sneakers: basketball sneakers, tennis sneakers, running sneakers, and jogging sneakers. I think you should come out with a âkneeling sneakerâ â obviously it does not have to be substantive because you only wear it while youâre kneeling â so it needs no strength or support it doesnât have to have any value or worth at all- You donât even have to use good materials or craftsmanship because basically a kneeling sneaker is worthless because youâre not âstandingâ for anything â but you can easily sell it to people that donât have any sense.
