Sports bras: the right support for your workout
Supporting female sports stars is in our DNA. We design our sports bras to work as hard as you do. Expect fabrics with four-way stretch for comfortable movement. Breathable, moisture-wicking fibres to help you stay cool and focused. Adjustable straps so you can get your perfect fit. And because athletes come in every size and body type, you'll find a wide range of cuts and fits to choose from.
Why should I wear a sports bra?
Our sports bras for women provide extra support and control compared to everyday bras, so you can train with confidence. They're made from lightweight, stretchy fabrics to move with you while holding everything securely in place. A well-fitting sports bra also reduces bounce—minimising discomfort as you exercise. Supportive bands around the back and under the bust can help improve your posture. Plus, seam-free designs cut down on chafing and irritation during long runs or repetitive movements.
What type of sports bra do I need?
Choose your sports bra based on the kind of exercise you'll be doing. For low-impact workouts such as yoga or Pilates, we have light-support styles for gentle control with maximum ease of movement. For cycling, rowing or weightlifting, look for options with medium support. Honing your skills on the athletics track or pounding out the miles on a testing run? A sports bra for women in a firm-control design holds everything in place no matter what.
Stay cool with Nike Dri-FIT
Because pushing your limits means working up a sweat, we make our Nike sports bras with our unique Dri-FIT technology. Moisture-wicking fibres actively wick away sweat from your skin. Once it's reached the surface, quick-drying finishes help it dry fast. You'll also find designs with mesh inserts for extra airflow in high-heat areas. Searching for a sports bra for your most intense workouts? Look for racerback straps and keyhole panels that maximise ventilation.
Cup styles to suit your preference
Padded sports bras deliver extra stability in the cup to further reduce bounce. Meanwhile, the extra coverage creates a smooth outline under your clothes. Want to move with total freedom? Unpadded designs give you a lighter feel. Meanwhile, our breathable fabrics help you shed excess heat more quickly. If you're looking for a defined silhouette with the control of a high-support sports bra, go for encapsulated designs. Their individually moulded cups combine excellent support with a neat silhouette.
