The Nike Bold Plus Size Underwire Sports Bra Review

Size Inclusion

Overall pretty good. Pretty good, not the best but not the worst.

How it Feels On

You can wear it two ways - normally and with the straps crossed at the back. During my test, I switched back and forth. At first it felt too supportive cross back, so I put it back to the H shape. But then 3 miles into my run, I put it back because I wanted to see what it felt like.

It feels sturdy but it does hurt your upper back. If you don’t do upper back strength work, you WILL get annihilated by this bra. BUT HERE IS THE THING, if you have larger boobs, your boobs are really heavy. So my hope is that you’re doing your strength work.

Getting it On and Off

So-so. It’s TOUGH to get on, but pretty easy to get off because you can just undo the clasps at the back.

How it Looks

Fine. It’s a plain, boring bra. WHICH I actually really like! It’s super sturdy and basic. No bells, whistles, or frilles. Just a supportive sleek sports bra.

The Test

Ran 8 miles (when I didn’t want to). About 3 miles in I changed it so the straps crossed in the back. I like it a lot. I’ve done hill repeats in this bra, long runs, short runs, and even though there is bounce, you don’t notice it. The bra has an underwear, which I loathe, but it’s a very sturdy bra.

Was there chafing?

Weirdly enough didn’t chafe at all. SHOCKING. Maybe a miracle happened? I wouldn’t run longer than 60-minutes without KT tape or chafe cream. This bra will most likely chafe you because it’s not a miracle.

Was there bounce?

There’s a little more bounce with the H-shape than the cross back shape, but truly not that noticeable.

After a Few Runs and Washes

This bra withstands the test of time. It’s a few months old now and after over a dozen washes and sweaty summer runs, it still feels as supportive as it did on day 1.
