As more women participate in fitness and sports, brands are focusing on providing women with a variety of sports shoes. However, wearing any other sports shoe will not suffice because women require more foot protection than men during strenuous events.

Over the years, Nike has signed several fierce female athletes, including stars such as Maria Sharapova and Jordan Hasay. The swoosh label has consistently attempted to bring women forward, with multiple women's offerings and sponsorship of female athletes.

The swoosh label has tried to change the future of women in sports after recently announcing the Athlete Think Tank program, which has resulted in the production of multiple sports silhouettes. Here's looking at some of their best sports shoes for women:
