At the origin, an iconic moment of women's sport. When Ibtihaj Muhammad became the first American athlete to compete, in fencing, with a veil in an Olympic Games, he showed the world a need. "I want to break cultural norms, that nothing prevents anyone from achieving their goals, neither race, nor religion, nor sex," he said in Rio 2016, an example of revolution.
"Many people did not believe that Muslim women had their own voice or that they could play sports," he protested, with the Olympic speaker as a unique showcase to his claims. That drove her through the media, to the point of creating her own sports hijab, with the help of Nike (Hijab Pro). The objective was to meet the growing worldwide demand for discreet sportswear, being respectful of religious and cultural beliefs. Now, the Oregon brand goes further with the Nike Victory Swinsuit, designed to help more women enjoy water sports. Let the design help normalization.
At the beginning of December, the firm presented its latest launch in Dubai - which will be released in February - the new bathroom collection that evolved from that Nike Pro Hijab, with the continuing commitment to empower women around the world . Revolutionary full-body swimsuits and not only aesthetically. In their characteristics they try to meet several basic criteria: that they are comfortable, that they do not retain water (thanks to their drainage system), that they protect from the sun, that they include chest support and that they are safer than those uncomfortable burkinis. For this Nike tried to work and listen to athletes of different modalities, cultures and parts of the world.
The Victory Swinsuit is made of a fast drying, chlorine-resistant fabric that repels water and helps reduce water retention. Strategically located mesh vents, articulated seams, joined and with coated zippers. An integrated hijab with a hair pocket. A built-in bra , inspired by the Nike Shape Zip ... The latest technology at the service of sport.
The complete collection consists of the Nike Victory Swim Full Coverage swimsuit, the Nike Victory Swim Hiyab, the Nike Victory Swim tunic and the Nike Victory Swim leggings. Despite having been created specifically for the Muslim market, its uses have also led to people with skin problems .
