BEAVERTON, Ore. -- A new line of Nike shoes was slated for release on Saturday, but KGW got a sneak peak of the latest N7 collection.

But these aren't just your ordinary sneakers. What makes this line different is that each shoe sold will help jump start athletic youth programs, build facilities or pay for equipment and uniforms for Native American communities across the country.

The N7 shoes were designed with Native American artwork, accents, and turquoise color stripes.

"Turquoise for native people is the color of friendship," Sam McCracken, General Manager of the Native American Business for NIKE told KGW.

McCracken grew up on a reservation in Montana.

"I could never imagine where I grew up having any access to anything. It was very rural," said McCracken.
