Nike just dropped a powerful new collection that’s a celebration of Indigenous culture. The latest N7 Collection features bold sportswear and shoes designed to honor Native communities and inspire the next generation.

Atlanta Smoke softball player SilentRain Espinoza stars in the Nike campaign. She says the collection reminds her that she’s “playing for more than herself.” Her message is one of pride, purpose, and being a role model for Native youth.

The N7 pieces include a cozy white hoodie, a soft crew T-shirt, mesh shorts, and black women’s tights that are ideal for everyday wear. The colorful N7 logo stands out on each piece, mixing sport and tradition.

The collection also includes the bright turquoise Nike Dunk Low and the Free Forward Moc 2, a sneaker inspired by moccasins and Native design.

In the photos, Espinoza and MLB pitcher Ryan Helsley pose in front of important murals of Native figures. Espinoza’s braided hair, beaded jewelry, and confident looks show the deep connection between fashion, identity, and culture.

The N7 Collection launched on June 21 in the U.S. and Canada, during National Indigenous Peoples Day. It also supports Native youth through the N7 Fund, which helps bring sport to Indigenous communities.
