Honoring the Land Through Design
Arriving during Native American Heritage Month, the Nike N7 Collection highlights reciprocity, renewal and kinship. Each design reflects a connection to specific landscapes and the people who care for them. “Our new N7 collection recognizes the people who always were, are and will be — along with their eternal connection to the land,” says Lauren Thomas, a member of the Mi’kmaq First Nations Tribe who designed the collection. She sees honoring places as an act of respect, and that idea runs through every garment and shoe.
Footwear and Apparel with Purpose
At the heart of the Nike N7 Collection are the Nike Pegasus 41 and V5 RNR, silhouettes reimagined exclusively for N7. The pairing of modern and retro running design keeps performance in focus while supporting daily wear. In addition, the footwear links directly to an apparel range that includes a 5-inch short, woven cargo pant, Phoenix Fleece crew and both short- and long-sleeve T-shirts. Each piece appears in shades such as sage and anthracite, with graphics inspired by photography, mixed media and textures taken from the land.
Indigenous Voices at the Center
The campaign spotlights actress Amber Midthunder, a member of the Fort Peck Sioux Tribe, along with Native runners Kutoven Stevens and Lenise Omeasoo. Their presence ensures Indigenous athletes lead both the story and the visuals. “I connect with this N7 collection on so many levels,” says Amber Midthunder. She explains that she often chooses earth tones and darker colors to feel grounded and appreciates that each silhouette draws inspiration from the land. “I’ve wanted to work with Nike N7 since I was in seventh grade, so being featured in this campaign is a big dream come true,” says Kutoven Stevens, a Washington State University runner and member of the Yerington Paiute Tribe. He adds that colorways inspired by nature give him even more pride to represent N7 and inspire young Native athletes.
N7 Fund Supporting Youth Sport
Beyond product, the Nike N7 Collection connects directly to community impact through the Nike N7 Fund, administered by CAF America. Since 2022, Nike has invested $625,000 in grants each year to support nonprofits that expand access to youth sport for Indigenous youth. Since 2009, the N7 Fund and additional grants have provided $13.4 million to more than 300 organizations, including Wings of America, The Destiny Program and the Notah Begay III Foundation. As a result, the program continues to grow pathways for the next generation of Native athletes. Nonprofit organizations serving Indigenous youth can apply for N7 Fund grants through January 16, 2026.
The Nike N7 Collection is available at nike.com and select retail locations, giving athletes a way to wear designs that honor land, culture and community.
