WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH:
In 2000, Sam McCracken had a business idea to provide access to Nike products directly to Native American Tribes to support health promotion and disease prevention programs. Seven years later, the Nike design team collaborated with various community experts and Tribal leaders to create footwear specifically for the Native American community, called Nike Air Native N7. All proceeds from the Air Native N7 (sold through Native American community centers and Tribes) are given back to youth sport and physical activity programs in Native communities across North America through the N7 Fund.
