Unpopular opinion: I’m not a huge fan of athliesure. While I love to work out and have a robust wardrobe of exercise gear to prove it, you’d be hard-pressed to find me in leggings and a sports bra if I’m not on my way to the gym or yoga class. But after recently scouring Nike’s site, I must admit that the iconic sportswear company has officially made me eager to jump on the bandwagon.
