The Nike Pro-Hijab has been in development for the past year and is due to be released in early 2018.

The pull on hijab is made from a single layer of Nike’s power mesh and features adjustable elastic binding that allows the wearer to adapt the hijab to her requirements and sport. It also has a long back to prevent it from coming untucked.
Throughout its development Nike consulted with Amna Al Haddad, an Olympic qualifying weightlifter from the UAE, and other Muslim pro-athletes, including figure skater Zahra Lari, to ensure that the hijab achieved a high level of performance whilst still meeting cultural requirements.

Al Haddad said of the hijab: "It's revolutionary and will change the face of sport for Muslim women who cover. It's going to inspire girls worldwide to follow their passion for sports without feeling limited."
Previously the lack of sport-appropriate clothing available for hijab-wearing Muslim women has meant that Muslim athletes have had to compete in traditional cotton hijabs, which have the potential to impede performance and retain water, so will get wet and stay wet as the athlete sweats.

The use of Nike’s power mesh fabric, a stretchy and breathable polyester fabric, in the hijab combates this issue as it is designed to wick away moisture to keep the wearer cool, dry and comfortable.
