Celebrating and enabling misogyny and the oppression of women.
“Nike launches first ever hijab for female swimmers,” by Sophie Gallagher, Independent, December 10, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Nike has launched its first ever modest swimwear collection, which includes a hijab that is suitable for wearing in the water.
Following the huge success of the brand’s sportswear hijab, designed for female athletes to wear while playing sports, it is launching the Victory Swim collection on 1 February 2020.
The brand says the collection was inspired by swimmers who found the current options, which don’t provide full coverage, were a “barrier” to enjoying the sport.
A statement seen by The Independent said: “Existing products were lacking in either coverage or functionality, leaving [athletes] feeling weighed down by baggy garments, battling drag instead of striving toward personal bests.
“Or worrying about whether their hijabs and coverings would remain in place.”
Items include a full-coverage swimsuit, a swim tunic top, swim leggings and the hijab, all made from warp-knit fabric, which is lightweight and quick-drying….
PRCS says
As some have posted about this on twitter, they won’t be wearing those in Afghanistan Saudi….
gravenimage says
*So* true, PRCS.
While this enables Islam in the West now, things like this and the “Burkini” will not survive if Islam ever takes over here. These only appear in the West, not in the Muslim world.
Infidel says
Precisely! What does Islam say about their tilth swimming? Also, why isn’t Nike promoting this in huge potential markets like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia – which alone should give them some 300 million potential customers

All women are most beautiful in a hijab, especially whites and latinas. If all american women wore hijabs, it would literally end at least half of all sexual harrassment in the country. And allah knows something has to be done about the immorality and gender deviants that pop culture is creating.
Infidel says
So how does that explain all the rapes that go on in Mohammedan countries?
notnolib says
allah is the made-up moon-god invented by mohammed the pig-faced dog, isn’t it?
He endorses rape, and you know it.
FYI says
@Sabri S
isn’t this the same demonic god of yours,al LAH{“The BEST of deceivers” k3;54}that PERMITS RAPE of enslaved women?
ABU DAWUD vol 2 hadith # 2155
koran 4:24
What sort of god gives permission for women to be raped?
al lah your demonic pagan Arab god.
Do these silly female converts to islam not know that the koran insists they have HALF the value{k2:282} of men due to what muhamed,the polygamist,woman-beating,child rapist “prophet” said was due to ” the deficiency of a woman’s mind”{Sahih Bukhari 3:48:826}
It is quite revealing how you don’t even know your OWN islamic sources and yet you always justify what you know to be perverse and immoral:your Godless cult of islam
James Hunt says
Wrong lol. In europe, sexual assault goes with mass imigration. Womenn do not look god when they are enslaved, they look good when tey are free to wear bikinies and min skirts

………………………..
More blaming women for Muslims harassing them.
And this is crap, in any case. Betty Mahmoody describes being harassed in Iran while wearing a headscarf and long, shapeless clothing–she was propositioned, grouped, and cornered and threatened with rape constantly–nothing like this had ever happened to her in the US.
An then there is Tarharrush–mass groping and public gang rape in the Muslim world, as happened to journalist Lara Logan in Egypt. Again, there is *nothing* like this in the civilized West.
More:
And allah knows something has to be done about the immorality and gender deviants that pop culture is creating.

Right–women being able to walk around with the wind in their hair is “immoral”, but “marrying” schoolgirls, forced marriage, keeping sex slaves, and stoning rape victims to death is not. God, I hate Islam.
PRCS says
launching the Victory Swim collection on 1 February 2020
Wow, just in time for another World Hijab Day event.
Will the Iranian women imprisoned for casting theirs off–last year–be able to see the wonder of it all on an Iranian Government Internet system?
sidney penny says
One thing to note is that not every Muslim woman everywhere wears a hijab.
Not do they want to be encouraged or forced to be wearing the hijab for the ones that do not.
Next thing to note is that it is not religiously mandated.
gravenimage says
Well, yes and no. The Islamic texts *do* note that a woman has to pull coverings over her forbidden areas–many Muslims interpret this as covering the hair, mouth, or even the entire face and hands.
mgoldberg says
Then that explains all the horrific murders of girls and women by their husbands, fathers, cousins for not wearing the hijab? From where would you say that derives, being that it goes on in all muslim populated lands?
FYI says
Will female muslim scuba divers be needing to wear them too underwater?
For surely al LAH sees all things.
The koran may insist that women wear hijabs but remember that the koran also tells us that..
Ants can talk koran 27 v 18
Solomon{the muslim version} had an Army of Jinns and humans and an airforce of BIRDS koran 27 v 18
A new born infant in a crib can speak like an adult koran 19 v 29-30
The moon was split in half koran 54 v 1
And who knew that “Abraham was not a Jew” k3:65?
The hijab is an invention of muhammed and umar and is worn in honor of a misogynistic,chauvinistic ARAB god who teaches that women have HALF the value of a man due to what muhammed said was “the deficiency of a woman’s mind”
Let’s not pretend it has anything to do with God.
FYI says
What happens If a muslima wants to go scuba diving?
Will she have to wear a special hijab?
Surely al LAH will be furious with her for not covering up.
Poisedon won’t mind:but then like al lah the Arab ,he’s a made-up god isn’t he?
rubiconcrest says
Perfect attire for Muslim Olympians, guaranteed way to lose every race for wearer. It should be nicknamed the ‘Forfeit Collection’….

Во всех ты, душенька, нарядах хороша.
A little something for the Russian delegation.

James Lincoln says
Google translate to the rescue!
Hugh Fitzgerald says
Google translate does a poor job of translating.
The quote is from an 18th century Russian writer, Bogdanovich, which Pushkin then used as an epigraph to his story “The Noblewoman-Peasant”–a poor translation, I admit), which appeared in his “Tales of Belkin.” It means “You look good, darling, in everything you wear.”
Giacomo Latta says
I hope it works better than an alpha version of an English-Russian translator which translated ”The spirit was willing but the flesh was weak” as ”the vodka was good but the meat was rotten.”
James Lincoln says
Hugh Fitzgerald,
Agree, always use platforms like Google translate with extreme caution…
Chris D says
Will Nike also come out with shackles and wife beating accessories? To support more Oppression of women?
Save Europe says
I’m guessing they won’t be wearing the Hijab and a bikini, and thus, they’re promoting ‘the burkini.’
These costumes do NOT belong in Western public swimming pools or beaches.
If I were to go to Saudi, wearing my mankini, I’d be beheaded in Riyadh.
Mark Spahn says
Take a look at the photo at the top here. Isn’t it haram to replace the Islamic crescent with the Nike swoosh? We need a fatwa by an imam who is also an intellectual-property attorney.
eduardo odraude says
I’ll avoid Nike shoes. There should be financial consequences for Nike’s PC conformist cowardice and phony hipness for profit at the expense of women’s rights and basic human rights. Nike pretends to be for human rights when really they enable the most misogynist movement on the planet.
Rufolino says
Absolutely, Edoardo.
Infidel says
I’ve boycotted Nike ever since Colin Kaepernack. This is a pretty stupid company, since there is no shortage of alternate apparel and shoe companies that people can defect to, if they’re disgusted w/ Nike. Even woke SJWs have plenty of alternatives, unless they’re just doing it for the brands. But Nike doesn’t have the same brand name appeal as the Guccis and several others
Keys says
Wonderful news ! This hijab for muslim swimmers is great news for that high school student that had a bucket of water thrown on her by a masked man in a black shirt !
BTW, how does one distinguish between an everyday hijab and a swimmer’s hijab ?
I guess the swimming one clings to the head, and the dry-land one just hangs there blowing in the wind.
Ren says
Nike introduces first-ever fashioned garbage bag for muslimas.
Westman says
Coming soon: Nike Hour at the EU swimming pools: no men or unbelievers allowed.
Niemoller says
I’m not into boycotts, but my ethusiasm for Nike has just dropped off a cliff. Brands are all about perception and hype. I don’t want my clothes to remind me of Islamic genocide and rape jihad.
Miss DeMeanor. says
Place this in the “What Not to Wear” category. ?
patriotliz says
The Nike burkini can also double as a “Hillary Clinton” pantsuit. The more she’s covered up, the better.
Battle says
patriotliz: +100
Giacomo Latta says
Have pity on the sharks! This is far worse for them than plastic.
OLD GUY says
NIKE NEVER!
Wellington says
Few givens in the world but one of them is that Nike will “cave” on every Leftist and Muslim initiative.
DON’T BUY NIKE PRODUCTS if you care about freedom. No exceptions here. Not one damn one.
Infidel says
Especially given the wide range of alternatives – Skechers, New Balance, Brooks, K-Swiss, Abeo, Dr Scholls, et al
DazzleMe says
Just ANOTHER reason I wouldn’t be caught dead in Nike! Nike is totally DISGUSTING!
Peter35 says
Pity, they make a very good shoe, but I’ve been off them for a couple of years
Tay says
One has to wonder, how many Muslim women living in the West, would actually be allowed by their families to wear a garment like this, made by NIKE, which is an American brand.
Surely Islamic families won’t want their daughters, wives, and granddaughters paying money to an American branded sports company.
So I wonder if this is just another company bending over backwards to show the world they aren’t against the Islamic ideology.
Just a thought
