Nike has announced that it plans to launch a high-performance hijab for female Muslim athletes called the Nike Pro Hijab, according to the UK’s Independent.

CNN’s Money reports that the process of designing the Pro Hijab took 13 months, and the final product will be available for sale next spring. Nike said the hijab is already being worn by Lari.

“I was thrilled and a bit emotional to see Nike prototyping a Hijab,” Lari said in a statement. “I’ve tried so many different hijabs for performance, and … so few of them actually work for me. But once I put it on and took it for a spin on the ice, I was blown away by the fit and the light weight.”
