About the Designer
Designer Chelysa “Chief” Owens-Cyr, a member of the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux tribes and the Pasqua First Nation, is a self-taught, contemporary artist. Inspired by her Indigenous culture and community, she uses art as her voice to tell their stories. “I believe through art we can keep our culture alive,” she says.
About the Design
The latest N7 collection celebrates Native and Indigenous culture and its interconnectedness to nature as a way to preserve and showcase traditions for generations to come. Each piece uses digital art forms to create a contemporary take on traditional Lakota beadwork designs and ledger art stories.
Speed and Comfort
A big forefoot Air Zoom unit offers a different level of velocity, either on the run or out of a standstill position. It provides snappy pop when the game revs up. Springy foam helps you stay fresh 'til the final buzzer.
Cushioned and Supportive
The bottom layer of the upper has Nike Air cushioning at the heel to add a pop to your step. We put a strong plastic piece at the forefoot to help keep you supported.
Cut Quickly
The outsole pattern looks like a topographical map, with an array of contoured ridges that bend and deflect in multiple directions to provide traction for every move.
Stable for the Court
A supportive piece under the arch adds stability.
