The Colin Kaepernick Foundation was founded to "fight oppression of all kinds globally, through social education and activism". I'm sure that I don't have to tell you who Colin Kaepernick is and the movement that he created regarding standing up for your rights simply by taking a knee. What has been interesting to me are the comments over the years regarding people saying that he "needs" football. Statements like that show the ignorance of people who think that all Black athletes will frivolously blow through millions of dollars.

On the contrary, "Kap" has done tremendous things with his fame and fortune. His Million Dollar Pledgepumped money into oppressed communities...all from his personal pocket along with proceeds of his NFL jersey sales. He also fully funded a youth campaign called the Know Your Rights Campto raise awareness in several areas that affect our children. So whether or not you watch(ed) football, we can all agree that Kap used that platform to advance our people!

Luxe Brand is a luxury shoelace brand owned by Ryan Mason (not pictured). Now you're probably asking yourself what could possibly make shoelaces a luxury brand. Let's start with the fact they the laces are made in your choice of genuine Italian lambskin leather or an eco leather. Luxe Brand's laces can be found in the cleats of many NFL athletes and they have been featured on NFL Network's "Toe Drag Swag".

The aglets (or tips) also come gold or silver plated. We know how some of us like to spend hundreds of dollars for custom or retro sneakers so why not put the icing on the cake with these luxury shoelaces from Luxe Brand!
