Sorry, dads. That Nike package by the door is for the real athlete in the house.
Some moms would say they don't have to work out because motherhood IS their work out. But Nike, with its expanded maternity collection, hopes to keep women in sport - throughout the stages of motherhood and beyond.
First launched in 2020, the Nike (M) was created for mothers, by mothers. "Being a mother isn’t a one size fits all role, and we applied that mindset with our inclusive design approach while creating the Nike (M) collection,” says Carmen Zolman, Nike VP of Innovation Apparel Design. “The more we listened to expecting mothers and postpartum mothers, the more we learned and reworked the capsule to fully support her relationship with sport and movement during such a transformative time in her life.”
Motherhood is also a new chapter for a woman to be in tune with her body and with sport, that's why Nike created these inclusive, stylish and high-performing products for moms.
5 Nike (M) Collection essentials for moms in changing seasons
Here are the five essentials you can buy for yourself, or the moms in your life.
1. Nike Dri-FIT Swoosh (M) Bra at P2,495
For the first time, Nike has designed a sports bra specifically for moms. The Nike (M) Swoosh Bra has discreet layers to enable moms to breastfeed or pump a bit easier, with a special moisture-managing fabric for nursing. Whether a mom is at home, or having some me-time at the gym or just anywhere, this medium-support bra is ready to help and support you.
Available in two colors: black and light thistle

2. Nike Dri-FIT (M) Tank at P1,895
Moms need the comfort of this super-soft Nike (M) Tank that "fits like a second skin." The longer cut aims to fully cover a preggy mom's bump, and the scoop neckline and 4-way stretch for nursing. This product is made from at least 75% recycled polyester fibers.

Buy the high-waist all-over print (P2,895) or the high-rise leggings in black and white colors (P2,195). PS. Just fold down the waistband when you don't need it anymore!
4. Nike Dri-FIT One (M) Shorts at P1,695
Moms who are always on the move (because who isn't?) will love the Nike One Maternity Shorts. From pregnancy to postpartum, these pair of shorts will help keep you feeling good and confident because of their comfortable and sleek design.

5. Nike Dri-FIT (M) Pullover (for release)
