When it’s about more than just modesty, Nike decided to help Muslim athletes stay in the game by introducing the Pro Hijab in 2017. This athletic wear provided a fast-absorbing yet soft attire perfect for giving it your all in sports. But, the sportswear company didn’t stop there. Just a couple years after the Pro Hijab was made available, Nike is doing it again. This time, the athletic gear company known mostly for their shoes and iconic swoosh logo has expanded to offer a full athletic collection that includes swimwear.
The Victory Collection is the result of paying close attention to feedback received. Muslim athletes and possibly a handful of others looking for modesty and comfort that does not restrict pro athlete movement have been heard. The swimwear covers from the top of the head to the tips of the toes in style yet isn’t cumbersome to get in the way of swimming or to hold you back in the sport you love.
The collection allows women to choose from a full body swimsuit or to select individual pieces which include a swimming hijab, a tunic top as well as leggings. This new Victory Swim Hijab offers a headband that is fitted with mesh that allows the fabric to breathe and provide comfort under the most intense athletic and high-energy movements. Swim as fast a you can. Don’t worry about being slowed down either. Movement and modesty have been knit together to help you stay in the sport you love. The fabric is light and will not cling to inhibit speed. The suit also has a bra that is built in to a tunic top. Zipper closed to conceal all with comfort and style that respects who you are and what you believe. The leggings provide a straight silhouette.
If you’re not an Olympic or professional athlete, don’t despair thinking the suit was made only for them. While it was designed to be able to stand up to high-energy sports, Nike designed the suit for anyone who wants to maintain modesty without forfeiting the honor and respect for their religious beliefs. Now there is nothing to encumber for those who still want to enjoy swimming with ease or scuba diving without limitations.
The latest Nike Victory Swim Collection is set to become available February 1. Find the Hijab swimsuit line at Nike.com or some exclusive retailers.
