Nike’s latest Summer 2024 N7 Collection, which just dropped on June 21, was perfectly timed with Canadian National Indigenous Peoples Day. This year’s collection is a bold blend of unisex apparel and footwear, designed to celebrate and elevate Indigenous culture through sport. With the N7 line, Nike aims to create a powerful fusion of tradition and modern style, ensuring that every piece tells a story of heritage and community.
Crafted by Nike/Jordan 3D designer Lauren Thomas, who draws inspiration from her Mi’kmaq First Nations roots, the new collection is a tribute to the vibrant spirit of powwow season. Expect dynamic colors and intricate patterns, including abstract designs inspired by Mi’kmaq petroglyphs.
The standout Air Max ’87 and Air Force 1 ’07 sneakers feature ombre colorways and moccasin-inspired stitching, while ribbon laces pay homage to traditional ribbon shirts and regalia. Through N7, Nike not only showcases Indigenous artistry but also supports non-profit organizations, continuing a legacy of over $12.1 million in grants since 2009.
