Putting the 'sport' in sports bra

For more active or intense moves, like football matches or running, multi-layered fabrics and thicker, wide-strap or racerback-style straps will deliver a held-in, super-snug feel. Bonus: all Nike girls' bras are performance tested and made from Dri-FIT fabric to help wick that sweat away.

"We found that girls didn't always like the band around the bottom, especially girls who hadn't worn a bra before. So we use a lightweight bottom band to make the bra feel less constrictive".
