Nike Launching Hijab For Muslim Athletes
However, it's facing backlash on social media…. see all the details here.With Nike announcing the launch last week - the Nike Hijab will not be available until it goes for sale in 2018.
The fabric which has been worked on for a year already - will be specially designed and developed for Muslin athletes.
The material will contain tiny holes for 'breathability' along with the length being designed in a specific way to stop the material from becoming 'untucked' during any sports or activity.
Nike is the first company that has taken the step forward to design sportswear for Muslim women however - it's hasn't gone as smoothly as expected with the company facing A LOT of backlash.
"I'll NEVER buy another Nike product again!"
Another wrote -
"I am SO angry right now, I am going to try and explain how I feel without the emotion. As a woman, Nike has just belittled every single American woman who fights for equality in all areas of life. By endorsing the hijab, they are condoning the anti-America values and folding to Muslim pressure….."
Continuing - "I will never by another product from the again - BOYCOTT NIKE"
Sporting Hijab's have been on the market for several years however Nike is the first international company who has taken the step to create a sporting hijab.
Revealing that this is something which they have been working on and designing for a year already.
