KATY, Texas, June 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Academy Sports + Outdoors' newest private-label activewear collection, Freely, will launch additional styles this summer as women continue seeking apparel that easily transitions from work to a workout. Freely is crafted with sustainability in mind – nearly a third of the items are made from recycled materials.
