Take the everyday backpack, and make it easier to use for all athletes, no matter their physical ability. That was the brief for Nike Lead Equipment Designer Brent Radewald and his teammates ahead of Paris this summer. The end result is the Nike Elite EasyOn Backpack, a Paralympic innovation that’s now available on Nike.com. Now, every athlete can experience the benefits of a more intuitive backpack. That’s universal design in a nutshell, says Radewald, and it’s one of his most satisfying responsibilities in his creative career at Nike. “Universal design helps all athletes perform at their best,” says Radewald. “If we create a better bag for our adaptive athletes, we create a better product for every athlete.” Learn more about the Nike Elite EasyOn Backpack at https://lnkd.in/gA2AfGBE #NikeDesign #NikeEasyOn #Disability

As a young girl attending a Native American boarding school on the Cherokee Nation Reservation in Oklahoma, Dr.Christine Panther remembers being taught the cultural practice of rising before dawn to greet the sun. That daily reverence toward the natural world helped inspire Panther, whose origins trace back to Oklahoma’s Kiowa, Quapaw and Shawnee Nations, to take up running throughout high school and into her adulthood. Many Indigenous communities across the world share the same sentiment: Nature can be a conduit to movement, which, in turn, is a conduit for change. “Indigenous communities across the world honor nature through movement and sport,” says Panther, a Sr. Manager, Social & Community Impact (SCI) at Nike. “Sport is medicine. Sport opens up a world of possibilities outside our door, especially for our young people. That’s why the N7 Fund’s connection to movement and sport is so vital, and so transformative.” Among Panther’s responsibilities within SCI is to help facilitate the N7 Fund application process, which is now open through January 6. The program recognizes nonprofits at all scales, from grassroots to the national level, that are increasing access to sport for Indigenous youth across North America. Watching these groups use the power of sport to change lives for the better is a privilege, says Panther. Her work at Nike, she says, places her within a proud lineage of Indigenous leaders and organizations, past and present, who see movement as a pathway toward transformation. “The N7 Fund follows the proverbial wisdom of Indigenous communities to consider the impact of our choices on the seventh generation,” says Panther. “The children from this and future generations are benefitting from the tireless work of our partners, which the fund helps support. Getting a front-row seat to see how they will change the world is an honor.” Learn more about the N7 Fund and apply at https://lnkd.in/g-BSm_4B #SwooshLife #NikeN7Fund #JustDoIt
Nike’s employee-led networks are built on the diverse, intersecting identities of all our teammates. This month, Paralympian Beatriz Hatz visited Nike’s World Headquarters and sat down with members from two employee networks — the Disability Network and the Latino & Friends Network — to share more about her overlapping identities as a multi-ethnic, disabled athlete.Erica Korpi, a Senior Administrative Assistant at Nike, serves on the leadership team for Nike’s Disability Network, and was one of the moderators who sat down with Beatriz for a heartfelt conversation about the athlete's career, her summer in Paris, and her intersectional identities. Beatriz’s personal story hits home for Erica. “I consider myself both a runner and a disabled woman,” says Erica. “Connecting with others like me, especially someone as incredible as Beatriz, feeds my soul. Nike’s core belief — 'If you have a body, you’re an athlete' — is brought to life through visits like these. It was an honor to share her story with our Nike teammates.” Learn more about our Nike United Networks: https://lnkd.in/gcxyit3S #LifeAtNike #DEAM #HispanicHeritageMonth #NikeUNITED
How do you top an unforgettable summer in Paris? If you’re Faith Kipyegon, try being nominated for the 2024 Women’s Track Athlete of the Year. The awards and accolades may keep on coming, but the dominant middle-distance runner says she’s after something else: “When young runners from the next generation watch me compete, I want them to see freedom — the freedom to challenge themselves in new ways.” Hear more from Faith about her earliest running memories, how her identity as a mother gives her life, and more at https://lnkd.in/gKUK2CBj #NikeRunning #JustDoIt

While our just-dropped Converse By You x Billie Eilish collaboration lets fans customize their own unique pair of Chuck Taylor All Stars with lyrics, colors, graphics, and prints from her album ‘HIT ME HARD AND SOFT’ … bringing it into being was a team effort. From Design to Global Sports & Entertainment Marketing to Social Media, team members from across Converse helped make it all happen, including graphic designer Ryan Skerry. Ryan is the visual magician who stepped in once the collaborative design process with Billie was complete to translate her design choices and new product components from real life to the digital Converse by You customization builder. His mission? To ensure the Billie shoes of a fan's imagination are the ones that show up at their door. For example, Billie’s signature “Blohsh” character embroidery and license plate, oversized and undersized lace selections, and soles printed with lyrics from the album are all new to Converse by You. Converting them to the digital realm required meticulous mechanics, and persistence. "The small stuff has to look perfect," Ryan explains. "The colors need to match just right, and the graphics and embroidery have to land on the shoes the way they’re supposed to — to make sure fans can select their assets and be happy with their ultimate product. It’s like a puzzle.” Luckily Ryan’s well-versed in the challenge, since Converse by You updates its offerings every eight to 12 weeks to give consumers the freedom to create something wholly unique and of the moment. If you’re trying to design your own pair of the Converse By You x Billie Eilish collaboration, you only have until October 24. Get all the Converse By You details at www.converse.com/c/custom
Nike Running’s newest super trainer, the Zoom Fly 6, is designed to help runners push the pace during their most important workouts. Who better to put the shoe through its paces than the greatest marathoner of all time? Eliud Kipchoge delivered his wise, thoughtful feedback on the Zoom Fly 6 in a few different ways — perhaps none more fitting than his thorough handwritten notes. Eliud’s partnership embodies what happens when our athletes join us in refining our latest performance models. They become critical members of the Nike team. “We’ve started to call Eliud our 'Product Line Manager on the ground,' says Elliott Heath, Nike’s Sr. Expert of Running Footwear. “He’s doing hand sketches and writing dedicated notes about our prototypes — that’s his baseline. He’s the world’s best marathoner, but he actually feels like a member of our product team.” Hear more from our ultimate wear-tester on the Zoom Fly 6: https://lnkd.in/gZqXtsre #SwooshLife #NikeRunning #JustDoIt
