Nike’s N7 sneakers honor Indigenous and Native American roots in basketball

One of Nike’s strongest philosophies is that sport is for everyone, and in keeping with that notion, the brand has revealed its next N7 collection. Meant to inspire Native American and Indigenous youth to get moving, the capsule features footwear including the Free Crater Trail Moc and Kyrie 5 Low alongside accompanying apparel.

Nike’s first designs by and for the Indigenous community were released in 2007, and in 2009 Nike launched N7, a product line influenced by the Native American wisdom of the seven generations. This season’s N7 offerings draw influence from the northern territories and continue to explore the cultural significance of basketball for Native peoples.
