Ibtihaj Muhammad wears Nike’s new sports hijab.
Nike just launched a lightweight and breathable hijab for Muslim athletes to wear while competing.
The Nike Pro Hijab went on sale globally this past weekend with the tag line “sports is for everyone.” The ad campaign features American Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad, Emirati figure skater Zahra Lari and German boxer Zeina Nassar. Nike revealed the hijab last winter when it was rolled out in stores in the Middle East. Now, athletes can purchase the Nike Pro Hijab around the world.
