Synthetic Style Number: 811363-123 Nike N7: The Power of Perseverance The Power of Perseverance Collection recognizes the movement of sport on Native lands and drives awareness of the Native American culture. It includes menÕs and womenÕs basketball and running apparel and footwear, as well as a collaboration with NBA star Kevin Durant on the KD8 N7 that he will debut on November 8 during the ThunderÕs Native American Heritage Night. The collection is led through Nike N7 ambassadors Lyle Thompson and Jude Schimmel, who have both overcome and persevered to motivate others and move their generations through sport. The two athletes have also inspired Bunky Echo-Hawk, a Native American artist, devoted activist and galvanizing force, who helped shape the Nike N7 Power of Perseverance Collection and has collaborated with Nike since 2011. His striking, large-scale paintings, enlivened with pop culture references ranging from arcade games to cult films, seek to demystify stereotypes about Native culture. A member of the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma, Echo-Hawk is also known for his captivating live art performances, during which he paints vibrant canvases informed by audience participation, social issues and traditional rituals.
