Nike N7 x Pendleton Navajo Tradition Pattern

"Self-representation, for me, is being authentic to my people and who I am," says Nike designer Tracie Jackson, who created this season's Nike N7 x Pendleton pattern inspired by the weavings of her great-grandmother, Phoebe Nez. 

“My great-grandmother was still weaving right up until she passed at 92,” says Tracie Jackson. “My beginnings with looms, rugs and blankets all started with my grandmother. First, I learned by herding her sheep on her farm, then by carding and spinning the wool and finally working the loom. Without my great-grandmother, I wouldn’t have learned about my culture, and without my culture, I wouldn’t have been a designer. My family ties are what influence my native identity.”
