Abstract:
Nike recently unveiled a new shoe at the National Indian Health Board’s consumer conference. What makes this latest release special is that it marks the first time the company designs a sneaker based solely on Indian people’s feet. Dr. Rodney Stapp-- CEO of the Urban Inter-Tribal Center of Texas (NCUIH member) --along with Nike experts, formed part of the designing team for the shoe. After two years of research, the N7 was created to fit the American Indian foot more comfortably than most other tennis shoes.
