Nike unveils Kaepernick ad to air during NFL season opener

The two-minute spot released Wednesday highlights superstar athletes LeBron James, Serena Williams and others, and touches on the controversy of NFL players protesting racial inequality, police brutality and other issues by demonstrating during the national anthem.

Kaepernick narrates the full spot but first physically appears midway through. As a camera pans to reveal Kaepernick's face, a reflection of a United States flag is visible on the facade of a building behind him.

The former 49ers quarterback is revealed as the narrator toward the end of the spot.

The commercial's universal theme is about athletes pushing for bigger dreams.
