After a year of designs and product testing, Nike has released a hijab designed for women to wear while playing sports.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Working with athletes, the hijab is designed with light-weight, breathable material; Nike Pro power mesh. It features strategically placed holes for breathability, is stretchy for movement, and the back of the neck area is elongated so it will never come untucked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fluff threads were used at the neck to eliminate the rubbing and irritation that can occur when an athlete sweats.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It came about due to popular demand from female athletes who wear hijab but want to compete in sports<\/h3>\n

UAE\u00a0weightlifter,\u00a0Amna Al Hadid is an Olympic-level weightlifter, and she has recounted how the garment\u2019s weight, the potential for it to shift during action and its lack of breathability disrupted her focus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Female athletes in the region have sung the praises of the product, including figure skater, Zahra Lari<\/h3>\n

\u201cI was really hesitant when I first saw it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was thrilled and a bit emotional to see Nike prototyping a Hijab, but I\u2019ve tried so many different hijabs for performance, and with how fast I spin on the ice and in training, so few of them actually work for me.\u00a0 But once I put it on and took it for a spin on the ice, I was blown away by the fit and the light weight.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zahra Lari, Emirati figure skater <\/cite>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nike is taking big steps to empower and enable Arabic women in sports, and recently launched the ‘What Will\u00a0They Say About You’<\/a> campaign to positive feedback.<\/h3>\n
