People are freaking out about this Nike Instagram
The Nike Women Instagram account posted a photo Wednesday night that has the entire internet abuzz.
The account, which usually posts photos of traditionally athletic-looking women, did something totally unprecedented: It posted a photo of a not-so-traditionally athletic-looking woman.
The purpose of the photo seems to be to educate followers about finding sports bras that fit the right way, but it features a plus-size model, which the account has never done before.

The photo was extremely well-received by Nike Women followers who were thrilled to see real women represented, showing that women can still be athletic and strong without being stick-thin.
Check out some of the positive comments on the photo below:
It's no surprise that Nike fans were ecstatic about the photo, what with the media's recent focus on body positivity. Just last week, plus-size model Ashley Graham shared a photo of her legs to Instagram, revealing to followers that while they were once called "cellulite city," she is proud of them and loves the way she looks.
