When Kim Kardashian first announced that Nike and her brand Skims would be collaborating on a product line fittingly called NikeSkims back in February, I knew it would be a collection to look out for. But now that it’s actually here — it’s officially available to shop as of September 26 — it’s clear that this isn’t just a one-off; it’s an entirely new label combining the DNA of both brands. (If you’re worried about it selling out, which it already is, shop the launch here right now).
While this is the first collection from the two activewear brands, it features an expansive seven collections (three core and four seasonal) with 58 silhouettes total, ensuring there’s a fit and style for everyone. Sizes range from XXS to 4X, and prices start at £16 for accessories (this headband) and max out at £158 for the Racer Onesie —true to form for both size-inclusive brands and priced about the same as their own collections.
Glamour’s NikeSkims launch wish list
From stylish sports bras to black leggings with a twist, this collaboration is inspired by the strength of female athletes and dedicated to women’s movement in all its many forms. When I previewed the collection in person this week, I was struck by how nice everything felt and looked; everything is in classic black, chocolate brown, and rich maroon, and finishes range from super-shiny to compressive matte to breathable mesh.
And athletes agree. “I’m an athlete, but I love fashion too. It’s important for me to express myself, and I love how wearing NikeSKIMS allows me to do that,” says Jordan Chiles, an Olympic and world-champion 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. I feel sleek, comfortable and completely myself.”
“Wearing NikeSKIMS makes me feel confident and unrestricted,” Sha’Carri Richardson, an Olympic and world-champion sprinter, adds. “I feel fierce knowing I can look and feel this good while working hard.”
Whether you’re in the market for a great new pair of leggings, activewear with built-in compression, or even trend-led layers — the track jacket below features an of-the-moment stand collar — you’ll find it here.
