Nike Unveils N7 Collection Honoring 300 Indigenous Communities in US and Canada

Nike has unveiled its latest N7 Collection for summer 2025, a powerful celebration of Indigenous communities through sportswear that blends daily essentials with meaningful cultural storytelling. Timed to coincide with National Indigenous Peoples Day in Canada, the collection and its campaign highlight Nike’s ongoing commitment to uplifting Indigenous athletes and ensuring Native youth see themselves represented in both sport and culture.

A Collection Rooted in Heritage and Purpose

The new N7 Collection features a range of complementary apparel styles and footwear, including cherished colorways of the Nike Dunk Low and the Free Forward Moc 2. Each piece is adorned with the multicolor N7 logo and subtle nods to Native culture, emphasizing Nike’s dedication to honoring Indigenous heritage for generations to come.

SilentRain Espinoza, Atlanta Smoke softball player, said:
“Nike N7 is all about supporting the next generation of Native athletes. This collection is a reminder of something I realized in college: that I’m playing for more than myself, inspiring the next generation of Native athletes as an example and a role model.”

The apparel lineup includes a unisex Club pullover hoodie, crew T-shirt, Club Flow mesh short, and a 7/8-length Nike One women’s tight. The white tops and black bottoms, all featuring the vibrant N7 logo, offer versatile options for everyday wear. The Nike Dunk Low arrives in an exclusive turquoise colorway designed specifically for the N7 Collection, while the Free Forward Moc 2 revives a beloved moccasin-inspired silhouette from 2014, complete with a geometric N7 footbed design.

Faces of the Campaign: Representation Matters

SilentRain Espinoza and Ryan Helsley, pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, headline the campaign, illustrating Nike’s mission to uplift Indigenous athletes and ensure Native youth see themselves reflected in sport. The campaign’s visual language a gritty, wheat paste art backdrop was created in collaboration with Indigenous artists, exploring themes of Native identity and contemporary voices.

Ryan Helsley, pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, said:
“My goal is to be someone that kids from my hometown can look up to, showing them that they can make their dreams come true no matter who they are. Nike embraces that mission through N7, which is meant to reach the next generation of Native athletes, speaking directly to them and their communities. That dedication really drove me to want to be a part of this season’s collection.”
