Nike Launches Its First Plus-Size Line Because “Women Are Stronger, Bolder And More Outspoken Than Ever”

Nike has the world rejoicing left and right after releasing a full line of plus-sized clothing this week. Not XXL t-shirts or extra-baggy sweatpants, but a fabulous range of comfortable, professional active wear.

In a statement given to Refinery29, the company said “Nike recognizes that women are stronger, bolder, and more outspoken than ever. In today’s world, sport is no longer something that she does, it’s who she is.” They’ve elected to celebrate diversity in every sense and promote body positivity, which is something we can all root for.

The line, which is available to buy online as we speak, includes multiple colours of leggings, shorts, and sports bras, running all the way up to size 3X.

What do you think ?

Disagree and downvote if you like, but I'm glad they are advocating for heavier women. It's not ONLY athletes that want to wear their products, women who want to lose weight need to be properly supported and there aren't very many options in terms of active wear (and cute activewear) else where. Especially with plus size sports bras, it takes real support to keep them twins from bouncing to and fro. Nike just needs to come down a bit on the price lol

I'd recommend Wacoal for a serious sports bra. I think they go from a 30 C to 42 G. Cheaper than Nike and they make a good product with a more personalize fit.

In response to some of the other comments: "Plus size" is a clothing size not a health assessment. You can be obese and not need plus sized clothing and you can be a healthy weight and still fit plus sizes.
