As part of Nike’s vision of championing athletes from all communities and expanding sport for the next generation, Nike N7 is committed to supporting Native American and Indigenous youth and getting them moving.

The footwear brings back the Moc with the Free Crater Trail, while other silhouettes include the Air Max 95 and the Kyrie 5 Low. Apparel pieces include a Nike Sportswear jumpsuit, a crew, a tee and a basketball short.

Building on the legacy of N7 Nike provided 13 organizations with a total of $625,000 in donations in FY22.
