“Nike recognizes that women are stronger, bolder, and more outspoken than ever,” the brand said in a statement to Refinery29. “In today’s world, sport is no longer something that she does, it’s who she is. The days where we have to add ‘female’ before ‘athlete’ are over. She is an athlete, period. And having helped fuel this cultural shift, we celebrate these athletes’ diversity, from ethnicity to body shape.”
The plus-sized clothing is set to help performance for women of larger body frames when participating in activities such as squats, rotating, bending and more. Pieces include designed leggings, long-sleeved T-shirts, hoodies and much more.
