Nike Introduces New Hijab for Female Muslim Athletes

Female Muslim athletes across the globe are looking forward to a new athletic hijab made by Nike. The Nike Pro Hijab was teased in the company's viral video campaign, titled “What Will They Say About You?” set to release in spring 2018. The Pro Hijab, composed of lightweight mesh fabric that features strategically-placed holes for optimal breathability, continues Nike's commitment to diversity. A statement from Nike pertaining to its new item reads, “The Nike Pro Hijab may have been more than a year in the making, but its impetus can be traced much further back, to an ongoing cultural shift that has seen more women than ever embracing sport." The Pro Hijab marks the first time that Nike has ever made a product specifically for Muslim female athletes.
