Athletes and non-athletes alike from all over the world are head-over-heels with Nike sportswear. Their top quality shoes and activewear do not sacrifice personal style, so it is only about time they release a culturally-inclusive item of sports clothing like the Nike Pro Hijab. Known to have been created in collaboration with Muslim athletes, this new release is made with Nike’s single-layer power mesh. It is said to be their most lightweight, breathable, and durable cloth. Although many have expressed interest at Nike’s announcement, some are skeptical. Whichever side of the spectrum you are in, this is still definitely a win for cultural inclusivity. Good job, Nike.
