The first book to capture a visual history of women's sportswear and the pivotal role Nike has played over the last 50 years. It is a book about Nike's athletic apparel and its significance for women. It describes the clothes women wear and the reasons they choose them. It concerns athletes, from top-level to aspiring amateurs, who run marathons or carry out their daily duties. It explores the spaces in which we operate and the way we use clothes: from the track and the gym studio, to the online world and the street.

Look Good, Feel Good, Play Good visualizes the relationship between women and their garments through five design archetypes from sports history: warm-up tracksuits, jerseys, leggings, sports bras, and shorts. Deeply inspired by narratives, history, and Nike's rich archive, the book includes abundant images from Nike catalogs dating back to the early 1980s, period and contemporary photographs, sketches, advertisements, material samples, color palettes, original design proposals and patents, logos, product and campaign photos, and much more.

Each chapter contains interviews with Nike athletes, coaches, and other collaborators, as well as insightful texts from cultural commentators. In over 350 pages and 575 images, this groundbreaking volume captures not only the evolution of women's sportswear but also proves their ability to make athletes who identify as women feel more empowered.
