Native Fashion
Nike’s N7 collection was created specifically for Natives in 2007 with the goal of encouraging exercise within Indian communities. The shoes had Native-inspired designs and wider soles to accommodate the width and foot shape of American Indians. However, Nike was criticized for not using Indigenous designers. Today, the N7 collection features Native designers including Rebekah Jarvey and Lauren Thomas. Additionally, Nike has started to invest in non-profits that increase access to sports for Native American youth.
