The N7 collection represents Nike’s commitment to bring the benefits of sports and active living to North America’s native and aboriginal communities. It’s hard to think of a design that better embodies this goal than one embracing the oldest way to run as a way to strengthen an athlete from the ground up, and with this in mind, the Nike N7 Free Run+ 3 will arrive this Friday, May 25th. Two colorways each offer a focus on one portion of the signature N7 palette, a black mens edition joined by a Dark Turquoise ladies pair that’s all but guaranteed to beat the average for 1.5-ups. Check out both pairs in greater detail below, let us know if you’d have liked to have seen the blue design in mens sizes and let us know if this new drop will make its way onto this weekend’s sneaker shopping list.

A few weeks back, we brought you a first look at a new N7 version of the Nike Zoom KD IV set to be a part of Nike’s upcoming summer 2012 collection. The Nike N7 initiative is a program created to help bring sports and physical activities to Native American and Aboriginal communities, and with the large populations residing in the Oklahoma area, Kevin Durant has become very familiar with the program and the people that it helps. When it came time for the next round of Nike N7 releases, Durant stepped up to collaborate on some special KD IV’s as his personal offering to the “Everybody Leaves A Footprint” campaign. The shoe was done up in both black and white colorways, each richly decorated with the special touches that have come to be expected on N7 footwear. The shoes won’t hit NikeStore and other select retailers until later this summer, but in the meantime, you can get a look at them on Kevin’s feet tonight against the Clippers. Official images and more info on the release and N7 program await after the jump along with a special video introduction from KD himself.

Last week, Sneaker News gave you a look at newest inclusion of the Nike N7 family – the Nike Air Force 1 Low. The Nike N7 collection, which has a mission based upon promotion sports and active lifestyles in Native American and Aborigonal communities across North America, has been responsible for a special capsule of footwear and apparel, marked with tribal standout colors and themes. The brown colorway of the Nike Air Force 1 N7 epitomized the viewpoint of the N7 cause, using a rustic brown upper with a detailed graphic on the heel and toe-box, with a tribal detail at the base of the lace placket. Here we have a first look at the black colorway, which features the same overall motif. This variation of the N7s are a kids size and are available now at Nikestore, so head there after you check out the detailed gallery below.

Now entering its third year, the Nike N7 Collection maintains a commitment to enriching the lives of North American native communities through sport. We’ve seen a variety of performance-oriented designs in the collection’s signature color scheme so far, but the new Nike Air Force 1 N7 marks the first time that it’s appearing on one of Nike Sportswear’s classic staples. And speaking of staples, these Uptowns sport one of the most unique looks of any pair released in 2011 thanks to their tacked-on Swooshes, a look we’ve not seen on any other pair of AF1s or any other NSW model. Have a closer look after the jump, get ready for a black pair to be unveiled a bit later, and in the meantime, grab a pair of N7 AF1 Lows from NikeStore.

“Sport gives you self-confidence, enabling you to be a force for positive change in your community.”
The Nike N7 Collection is about to enter its third year with the goal of promoting sports and active lifestyles in the Native American and Aborigonal communities across this continent, and while the latest release isn’t in keeping with the traditional N7 lean toward performance models, but they do indeed push the series forward in terms of aesthetics. The Nike Air Force 1 Low N7 is easily the most detailed drop so far, its tonal brown patterned leather uppers taking over and leaving the traditionalvibrant red and blue tones in supporting roles. The angular leather detailing is great, but it’s up against serious competition with the metal-tacked Swoosh for the N7 AF1′s standout feature. Either way, is it safe to say this is the best N7 design so far? Let us know with a comment when you click through to see more shots and stick with Sneaker News for updates on the entire Nike N7 Collection.

The Nike N7 Collection was launched in late 2009 with the goal of promoting “active and healthy lifestyles [within the Native American community], as well as the collection’s focus on sustainable innovation.” It started with a signature white, black, red and blue palette on a couple models and spread to several more, but today marks the debut of the first N7 original model, the Nike N7 Air Max Destiny. These midtop court kicks are reminiscent of last year’s Air Max Hyperfly, their Flywire-reinforced uppers cushioned by visible Air running through the heel. Click through to see the Dark Turquoise pair and pick them up now on NikeStore, with a black edition to follow shortly.
