Has Nike released Shoes with Israel Flag on it ? Read the reality
Claim:
On March 4th, 2024, @ShaykhSulaiman posted a video on X (formerly known as Twitter) alleging that Nike had released shoes featuring the Israeli flag, the Star of David. His post was later reposted by several others.
@DrLoupis goes viral again for sharing the same video, her post garnered over a million views.
Fact Check:
Subsequent investigation revealed that the claim was false, and Nike had not produced any shoes featuring the Israeli symbol. Instead, it was discovered that these shoes were custom-made by designer Rachel Pollack, who operates an online store under the name PntbyRay, advertised on platforms like Facebook and Etsy. It’s important to note that Nike has not officially released any footwear featuring the Israeli flag or symbol. This claim has further been debunked by other X users and Middle East Monitor.
Conclusion
What is clear is that Nike has not issued an official statement regarding this specific issue, nor has it provided clarity on its stance regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict. However, it is confirmed that the video in question was not produced by Nike but rather by a local seller.
