Words fail me:

quote:

The Beaverton-based company says the Air Native N7 is designed with a larger fit for the distinct foot shape of American Indians, and has a culturally specific look. It will be distributed solely to American Indians; tribal wellness programs and tribal schools nationwide will be able to purchase the shoe at wholesale price and then pass it along to individuals, often at no cost.

There was an interview on NPR as I was driving home today with Sam McCracken.

Seems that when the article says wider, they mean seriously wider. Normal womans Nikes come in B widtht the overwealming width of the american indians starts at a D for women. With the men going to EEE.
