Nike and SKIMS unveil first collection inspired by women athletes

Nike and SKIMS have launched NikeSKIMS, their first co-branded activewear collection, available September 26 online and in flagship stores in New York and Los Angeles. The debut line spans seven collections and 58 silhouettes, designed to move seamlessly from studio to gym to everyday wear.

NikeSKIMS introduces a “system of dress” offering over 10,000 possible outfit combinations. The range features foundational bras and leggings through to seasonal statement pieces, all shaped by a focus on performance, style and comfort.

The new line was unveiled with Bodies at Work, a film directed by Janicza Bravo, alongside photography by Luis Alberto Rodriguez and Rob Woodcox. The campaign features more than 50 athletes including Serena Williams, Chloe Kim, Nelly Korda, Sha’Carri Richardson, Romane Dicko, Beatriz Hatz, Jordan Chiles, Madisen Skinner, and SKIMS co-founder Kim Kardashian.

Athletes highlighted the collection’s blend of performance and style.

Jordan Chiles, Olympic gymnast: “The NikeSKIMS product is a game-changer. I love the quality, how it moves with me and supports me in all the right areas."

Serena Williams: “I feel unstoppable when I’m training in it.”

The launch introduces three core collections, updated seasonally:

Matte: 21 everyday staples with mid-level compression, sculpting detail and Nike’s Dri-FIT technology.

Shine: Quick-drying, stretch pieces designed for strength training.

Airy: Lightweight, mesh-inspired designs for layering and movement.

Four seasonal drops complement the line: Vintage Seamless, Matte Tricot, Weightless Layers, and Shiny Nylon.

The collaboration builds on Nike’s commitment to women’s performance apparel and SKIMS’ solutions-first design approach.

Kim Kardashian: “NikeSKIMS’ Bodies at Work film celebrates every woman’s strength and power. Our mission is clear: to redefine women’s activewear without compromise.”

Amy Montagne, president, Nike: “NikeSKIMS is a bold evolution in how women experience sport and style — and together with SKIMS, we’re delivering what no other brand can.”
