Nike set to launch ‘Pro Hijab’ next year

Nike said it will launch next year a head covering for Muslim women, an athletic garment it has dubbed the “Pro Hijab”. The company joins a short list of designers and apparel purveyors now making clothing expressly for Muslims, who comprise a quarter of the global population. Nike last week released a video showing female athletes wearing the hijab, which bears a big “swoosh” — the company logo — prominently on the side.
