In response to the police brutality committed by police officers against Jacob Blake and the system’s continued protection of racist officers, Nike, adidas, Under Armour, Puma, Aimé Leon Dore, and several other notable brands have expressed their support and solidarity in the fight against systemic racism. ALD has delayed the release of its Fall/Winter 2020 line to this Sunday while brands like Under Armour have postponed long-scheduled releases indefinitely in honor of Blake’s life and to not distract from the important conversation. Following the protest of the NBA by some of its teams, Nike, Puma Basketball, and adidas have each released their own statements in support of their decision. You can also scroll below to find their statements.

You can donate to a fundraiser created by Jacob Blake’s mother on his behalf over at gofundme.com.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
