Nike however remains committed to sport in every facet even when sports performance is taking a backseat to casual apparel in sportswear. Instead of taking the road adidas did with their first Primeknit capsule, Nike took Flyknit and tackled a problem that has been plaguing women, a better bra.
In attacking this issue they have utilized Flyknit to create an almost seamless bra that doesn’t rely on the multiple panels sports bra/bras are typically created with.
