The pull-on hijab is made of light, airy and stretchy fabric that includes tiny holes making it breathable with an elongated back so it does not come off. It will also be available in three colours: black, vast grey and obsidian. Beaverton-based Nike says the hijab will be available for sale in the following year.
Lari also posted photos of herself wearing the hijab on her Instagram profile. Lari is from Abu Dhabi and represents the United Arab Emirates.
"Can't believe this is finally here!!" she wrote.
