Steven Paul Judd’s Nike N7 Holiday 2026 Collection Combines Art and Basketball

Nike is back with another N7 Collection, further expanding the brand’s commitment to supporting Native American and Aboriginal communities. Teaming up with Kiowa & Choctaw artist and filmmaker Steven Paul Judd, this capsule might just be one of the best N7 drops to date. The most interesting detail on Steven Paul Judd’s Nike Air Force 1 Low “N7” is the way its colours meet. Sand Drift tan rises from the toe and lower panels into Oasis Teal across the upper, drawing on the colours of an Oklahoma sunset. The gradual shift gives a familiar shoe a sense of place before you notice the artwork.

Nubuck carries the colour transition, while an orange chenille Swoosh adds a raised, fuzzy texture against it. At the heel, Judd builds a smiley face from arrowheads for eyes and a curved arrow for a mouth. It is a small, playful mark that feels consistent with his wider practice of bringing Indigenous imagery into pop art. The Air Force 1’s sturdy low-top shape gives those choices room to stand out without changing the silhouette itself.

Judd’s design is part of Nike’s Holiday 2026 N7 collection, which also includes a teal GT Cut 4 with a pattern influenced by Choctaw culture, plus apparel. The pairing puts his work on two shoes with different lives: an Air Force 1 rooted in everyday wear and a contemporary basketball model. Kiowa-Cherokee player Lindy Waters offered an early look at the GT Cut 4 during pregame warm-ups in June.

N7 also has a purpose beyond the collection. Nike says its N7 Fund invests in nonprofits serving Indigenous young people in North America. Since 2009, Nike reports $15.2 million in support through the fund and other grants to 324 organisations. Judd’s contribution gives this release a more personal visual point of view: the Air Force 1 reflects his Oklahoma roots, while the second shoe draws on Choctaw design.
