Embracing the Air Force 1 and Air Max 1, Nike amplified their N7 program for 2024, extending a series of initiatives centered around First Nations communities that has persisted since 2009.

Followers aware of the company’s blend of charity endeavors and footwear initiatives are well acquainted with the main focus of this year’s endeavors. However, it’s no secret that Beaverton frequently releases additional N7 models throughout the year. The latest one to join the lineup is the Nike Dunk Low “N7.”

In this latest addition to the N7 lineup, the Nike Dunk Low revisits the category’s origins, primarily adorned in turquoise and crimson hues. The latter color has been a consistent element in N7 designs since 2013, drawing inspiration from the themes of “kinship and community in Indigenous cultures.”

A cream-colored midsole brings a vintage feel to the design, aligning it with other prominent Beaverton creations. Additionally, this Dunk Low showcases Next Nature construction, indicating sustainable practices with at least 20% recycled materials by weight.

While each release in the community-driven initiative holds significance, this Dunk Low carries a special meaning for seasoned sneaker enthusiasts. It marks a return to the teal, red, and white color scheme once synonymous with Nike N7 releases, a palette that hasn’t been prominently featured since the Nike KD 7.

As Beaverton transitioned from a uniform design approach to a more customized strategy involving Native artists for each collection, this color combination became less common. For collectors who began their journey in the early 2010s, the nostalgia evoked by this colorway is undeniable. Even for those unfamiliar, it presents a refreshing interpretation of a timeless silhouette.

The Nike Dunk Low “N7” is scheduled to debut via Nike.com as part of the Fall/Winter ’24 lineup, with a retail price of $125.

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
