Niko Pajkovic — March 9, 2022 — Fashion
Nike is once again expanding its N7 line, this time introducing the 'Free Crater Trail Moc N7.' The new sneaker will serve as an alternative version of the brand's already released Nike Free Crater Trail Moc, both of which deliver designs that aim to celebrate Indigenous communities and styles.
The new sneaker comes with uppers that are inspired by Native American basket weaving, and, as a result, feature intricate step, cross, and diamond patterns that are representative of natural American landscapes. In addition, the 'Free Crater Trail Moc N7 features an extended lacing system, a premium suede and leather construction, and speckled Nike Free midsoles with rubberized outsold segments.
The Nike Free Crater Trail Moc N7 is set to drop in the coming weeks, where it will be available to purchase via nike.com.
