Nike releases new ‘hijab style’ swimsuit
Nike's new victory swim collection will include a full-coverage swimsuit and a swim hijab. The design serves a variety of needs from religious or cultural modesty preferences to sun protection.
The fabric is designed to be lightweight, breathable and fast-drying with a high u-v skin protection factor.
The full-coverage suit is available along with a separate hijab, tunic top, and swim leggings.
The new swim options follow Nike's release of a performance hijab for Muslim women athletes in 20-17.
Nike said it began developing the hijab after some Muslim athletes complained about wearing a traditional headscarf during competition.
The swimwear line will be available February 1st.
