Oklahoma Thunder forward Kevin Durant drops his fourth collaboration silhouette in support of the Native American and Aboriginal youth in North America with the Nike KD 7 ‘N7’. Featuring design elements of the Raven known as the bringer of light as well as a powerful storyteller and teacher, while the gold accents represent the seventh anniversary of N7designed.
“The art of the Northwest region has historically existed as symbols carved onto artistic and utilitarian objects — virtually almost anything. N7’s interest in Northwest Coastal graphics is a natural progression of the art itself. If you’re going to design everything, why not design the clothes that you wear?” said Peter Boome, Northwest Coastal Salish artist. “I love the abstract qualities of Nike’s take on traditional designs — bringing movement to the wings and other traditional elements. Apparel is meant to move, so the integration of movement in the design is intuitive.”
The Nike KD 7 ‘N7’ will be released as part of the N7 collection beginning Nov. 8 at Nike.com, Nike and Foot Locker locations across the United States and Canada. To date the N7 Fund, has raised more than $3 million for Native American and Aboriginal youth sport programs.
