Egyptian athlete Manal Rostom is one of several Arab women Nike has enlisted to test-wear garments from its upcoming Pro-Hijab sportswear line, which is set to hit stores in Spring 2018, writes Al Arabiya’s Ismaeel Naar. The new line is in response to veiled women athletes’ complaints that finding veils that fulfil religious obligations, while also being practical and comfortable for sports, is challenging. “We live in the hottest countries in the world so covering the neck area specifically is always going to be a challenge,” says Rostom.
