The Nike N7 Summer ‘26 Collection Launches at Hibbett on June 18, 2026
Understanding Nike N7's Mission
For well over a decade, the Nike N7 initiative has served as a powerful platform for empowering Native American and Indigenous communities through the transformative power of sport. What began in 2000 under the leadership of Sam McCracken—originally supplying Nike products directly to Native American tribes for health and wellness programs—evolved in 2009 into a publicly available product line. Today, sales from the collection directly support the N7 Fund.
The N7 Fund invests heavily in non-profit organizations that provide sports, recreation, and physical activity programs for Indigenous youth, fostering confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills. Since 2022 alone, Nike has invested $625,000 in grants annually through the fund, bringing its total historic support to over $15.2 million across 324 organizations. Rooted in the Native American principle of Seven Generations—which emphasizes considering the long-term impact of current decisions on future generations—Nike N7 aims to help Indigenous youth celebrate their heritage while building a prosperous future.
