N7 is Nike's long-time commitment and mission to inspire and enable two million Native American and Aboriginal youth in North America to participate in sport and physical activity. The N7 philosophy embraces the Native philosophy: 'In every deliberation we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations.'
The N7 collection considers the lasting impact our decisions have on the planet and embodies Nike's commitment to sustainable innovation by creating product engineered for superior athletic performance and lower environmental impact.
After more than a decade of partnership with Native American and Aboriginal communities across North America to support programs aimed at physically active lifestyles, Nike deepened its connections with these communities in 2007 with the launch of N7 beginning with the Nike Air Native N7 shoe. The N7 Collection followed in 2009, to celebrate Native American and Aboriginal culture and to raise awareness for the N7 Fund. The N7 Fund is part of Nike's Global Community Impact work and supports Native American and Aboriginal organizations that are getting youth active. To date, the N7 Fund has awarded $4.6 million in grants to 200 communities and organizations, reaching more than 400,000 youth.
