Japanese designer Undercover posted on its Instagram account a photo of protesters with the slogan 'no extradition to China,' the Financial Times reported.
The line of limited-edition sports shoes are designed by Undercover, the brand of Japanese designer Jun Takahashi, according to the report. Several Chinese retailers withdrew those shoes from sale without explanation, the FT reported.
Earlier this month, Undercover posted on its Instagram account a photo of protesters with the slogan "no extradition to China," according to the report. That post reportedly attracted backlash from Chinese social media users. Undercover deleted the post, saying that it was an "individual opinion" that was put up by mistake, the newspaper said. The designer and Nike didn't immediately reply to CNBC's request for comment.
