My response from Nike

[Guest guest]

Hello ers and Season's Greetings,

Below is the response I received from Greg at Nike HQ about the wide

shoes. And now I have a question for you all. Is anyone wearing any

Nikes? If so, which models? We have a Chumash Tribal Clinic here and

I'm calling them tomorrow to inquire about these shoes. I'm curious

and think I'm going to check into how the fit compared to my New

Balance ones. ~ Gretchen

Hello Gretchen,

It is great to hear of both you and your members interest in the

Nike Air Native N7.

We are very excited about this collaboration with the Native

American community. Nike is committed to the Native American

community and promoting a physically active lifestyle. Therefore

the Nike Air Native N7 is a performance shoe built to meet the

specific foot shape and width needs of Native Americans. Profits

from the Nike Air Native N7 shoe will go to support 'Let Me Play'

programs on Native American lands.

This first offering of the Air Native N7 is currently limited to

Native American Wellness centers throughout the U.S. While this

initial offering is small, it's possible that we may expand the

distribution of this product to the general public based on its

success.

However, if you are not Native American or do not have access to a

Native American Wellness center please know that Nike of course

offers a large variety of wide footwear in its general line up as

well. Most are in the running footwear category which includes the

Air Pegasus wide style # 316465 (or style # 316832 for 4E), the Air

Max Moto V+ wide style # 316463, and the Air Structure Triax 10+

wide style # 315168. Wide models have their own style numbers but

are otherwise unrecognizable from the " regular " width versions.

Therefore, be certain you reference the exact style number above

when shopping at a retailer.

Also, for a complete list of wide footwear that Nike has available

please visit Nikestore.com, click customer service at the bottom of

the home page, then click frequently asked questions and type wide

in the keyword box.

We appreciate your support of this initiative.

Sincerely,

Greg

Nike
