We just learned that Nike is creating a special discounted shoe called “Air Native N7” designed for Native Americans who, according to the manager of Nike Native American business (who knew?) have “growing” health issues, (ie are fat.) Blog Jezebel brings up a good point though:

So why they don’t they offer discounted shoes in honor of all the other minorities with health problems? Ha ha ha, because they’re the ones that pay full price for Nikes in the first place.

Also, what about those of us with Native American blood that’s obvious to see, but kind of impossible to prove due to certain historical, Latino social mores? Seems we’re S.O.L. A Jezebel commenter writes to say she checked on avails and the shoe will only be sold via local tribal wellness centers.
