NikeSKIMS Unveils Bold Vision With First Collection Inspired by the Strength of Women Athletes

Strong and stylish. Competitive and feminine. Confident and obsessive.

NikeSKIMS exists to serve women who are redefining what it means to be an athlete today.

It’s in that vision that NikeSKIMS debuts its first apparel collection, which is designed to sculpt and engineered to perform, without compromise. Fueled by Nike’s unparalleled relationship with athletes and SKIMS’ solutions-first approach, NikeSKIMS delivers what no other brand can: a new aesthetic and system of dress, obsessively crafted for the body, that goes from the studio to the gym and beyond.

This design approach comes to life through NikeSKIMS’ debut film, Bodies at Work, and campaign photography that together feature more than 50 athletes from across the Nike portfolio, including Jordan Chiles, Romane Dicko, Beatriz Hatz, Chloe Kim, Nelly Korda, Sha’Carri Richardson, Madisen Skinner and Serena Williams, as well as SKIMS Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer Kim Kardashian.

“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.”

Born from a shared commitment to innovation, inclusivity and distinction from two leaders at the forefront of sport and culture, the first NikeSKIMS product line sets a new industry standard by redefining activewear for all athletes, from the elite to the everyday. The line spans seven collections and 58 silhouettes, offering a system of dress with more than 10,000 ways to combine a diverse range of looks. Each piece is shaped by uncompromising attention to detail — delivering style, function and comfort that transitions effortlessly between workouts and everyday wear.

The NikeSKIMS system of dress takes a head-to-toe approach, featuring layers that support and move with women’s bodies. Flattering lines, sculpting fabrics, innovative materials and neutral colorways offer women a complete wardrobe solution — from foundational bras and leggings to seasonal silhouettes and accessories — created to help them look, feel and perform their best.

“Wearing NikeSKIMS makes me feel confident and unrestricted,” says Sha’Carri Richardson, an Olympic and world-champion sprinter. “I feel fierce knowing I can look and feel this good while working hard.”

The first NikeSKIMS launch introduces three core collections that will be updated season over season, as well as four new seasonal collections.

The Matte collection is unlike anything on the market, offering everyday staples across 21 styles that provide mid-level compression alongside targeted smoothing and sculpting. Designed with an innovative fabric and powered by Nike’s Dri-FIT performance technology, each piece is sweat-wicking and versatile for movement, style and coverage, delivering go-to elevated sport essentials for all studio activities and everyday wear.

“The matte material feels so nice — very soft yet still secure and not restrictive,” says Nike athlete and Paralympic medalist Beatriz Hatz. “I feel powerful in it.”

The Shine collection includes supportive and sleek styles with quick-drying technology, a subtle sheen finish and stretchy feel. Designed for strength training, the collection delivers function and comfort that transition effortlessly beyond the gym.

The Airy collection offers seven breathable, mesh-inspired knit pieces intended for layering and movement. Made from an ultralight, open-weave mesh, with fitted and oversize silhouettes, the collection is ideal for low-impact activity and effortless styling.

“It feels like butter on your skin,” says Serena Williams, winner of 23 Grand Slam singles titles and four Olympic gold medals, of the first NikeSKIMS collection. “I feel unstoppable when I’m training in it.”

Four seasonal collections complement the core NikeSKIMS apparel.

The Vintage Seamless collection is crafted with a seamless knitting technology and wash technique that creates a worn-in, vintage-inspired look and feel for studio activities and beyond. The Matte Tricot collection includes sleek, minimal, track-inspired layering pieces that feature NikeSKIMS’ signature matte fabric and a buttery-soft feel. Semi-sheer Weightless Layers are perfect for low-impact activities, and a Shiny Nylon oversize pant adds form, dimension and style to every activewear look.

These styles are on display in Bodies at Work, directed by Janicza Bravo, and campaign photography, from Luis Alberto Rodriguez and Rob Woodcox, which showcase the power and beauty of the body while emphasizing the individuality of women across all levels of sport. For the athletes involved, it’s more than a campaign. After viewing the film for the first time, Jordan Chiles said, “This is a reminder that my body and every woman’s body is not something to be picked apart or controlled. It’s a force. It’s power. It’s artistry. I’ve spent my life proving what my body can do rather than letting the world tell me what I should look like.”

That’s exactly the point, says Kim Kardashian. “NikeSKIMS’ Bodies at Work film celebrates every woman’s strength and power,” she says. “Our mission is clear: to redefine women’s activewear without compromise. This collection brings together cutting-edge performance with bold, style-forward design, empowering athletes — from elite competitors to everyday gym enthusiasts — to move effortlessly and conquer their goals with confidence.”

What’s more, NikeSKIMS builds on Nike’s broader dedication to growing its women’s business, inspiring women and girls around the world to dream big and enabling them in their pursuit with industry-leading performance apparel and footwear.

“NikeSKIMS is a bold evolution in how women experience sport and style — and together with SKIMS, we’re delivering what no other brand can,” says Amy Montagne, President, Nike. “It’s part of Nike’s broader commitment to her: uncompromising product innovation that moves and celebrates women."

The first NikeSKIMS collection will be available September 26 at nike.com/NikeSKIMS, SKIMS.com/NikeSKIMS, and select Nike and SKIMS retail locations, including flagship stores from both brands in New York City and Los Angeles.
