Cherokee Nation To Offer Native Americans Specially Priced Nike Air Native N7 Shoes For A Limited Time: 1/12/2010
(C) Cherokee Nation
The old saying: “If the shoe fits, wear it,” takes on a whole new meaning for Native Americans across the United States. Nike researchers studied the feet of more than 200 people from 70 tribes nationwide and determined that Native Americans have a much wider and taller foot than the average American. Armed with this study, Nike created the Nike Air Native N7 that is designed specifically for Native American feet, and features a wider, larger toe box, fewer seams and a thicker sock liner for comfort.
