Now a turbo designer at Nike, Jackson is passing along her grandmother’s legacy in the 10th anniversary of the Nike N7 collection, honoring heritage through special patterns with Pendleton.

Proceeds from the Nike N7 x Pendleton Seven Generations blanket, featuring Jackson’s pattern, benefit the American Indian College Fund.
