Nike and Kim Kardashian’s shapewear brand, Skims, just dropped a bombshell—NikeSkims, a new activewear line blending Nike’s sports science with Skims’ signature style, and, of course, Kanye West couldn’t sit this one out.
The first collection, packed with training fits, sneakers, and accessories, is set to drop in the U.S. this spring, with a global takeover planned for 2026.
Nike’s Power Move
Nike is making major plays to dominate the women’s activewear game. With brands like Lululemon and Alo Yoga eating up market share, Nike needed a fresh angle. Enter Skims. Kim K’s brand is already a cult favorite for seamless, figure-hugging fits, and this collab is Nike’s ticket to tapping into that hype.
This isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about shifting the game. NikeSkims is all about inclusivity, offering styles for every body type, proving once again that the old-school fitness aesthetic is dead.
Wall Street’s Eating It Up
Investors are vibing with the collab. After the announcement, Nike’s stock spiked 6.2%, making it the MVP of the Dow Jones Industrial Average that day. The message? Nike just secured a serious competitive edge in the women’s activewear space.
With Lululemon and others running the show in stylish, high-end workout gear, Nike was due for a glow-up. And aligning with a brand that thrives on inclusivity? Genius move.
Kanye’s Got Something to Say (Of Course)

You knew this was coming—Kanye West couldn’t sit this one out. Right after the announcement, he hit social media to trash Nike’s latest shoe design. No direct mention of NikeSkims, but let’s be real, the timing is sus.
If you remember, Kanye used to be team Nike before jumping ship to Adidas, where he built Yeezy into a cultural phenomenon. He’s always had strong feelings about Nike, and this is just the latest chapter in his never-ending beef with the brand. Will his comments have an actual impact? Probably not. But it definitely adds to the drama.
What’s in the Drop?
Details are still tight, but expect training apparel, footwear, and accessories with that signature Skims touch. That means buttery-soft, form-fitting fabrics, sleek silhouettes, and neutral tones that flatter every skin tone.
Inclusivity is a given—Skims is known for offering a wide range of sizes, and Nike’s tapping into that ethos. If the execution is on point, NikeSkims might just set a new gold standard for activewear.
The Bigger Picture
This isn’t just a fashion drop; it’s a cultural shift. Major sports brands are finally realizing that women want gear that looks good, feels good, and fits every body. NikeSkims is proof that performance and inclusivity aren’t mutually exclusive.
The real question—will the hype live up to reality? If Nike and Skims pull this off, they’ll reshape the activewear industry. If they fumble, it’s just another celeb collab that fizzles out. But let’s be real—betting against Nike and Kim K? Bold move.
The countdown is on. Whether you’re a Nike stan, a Skims addict, or just here for the drama, this collab is about to shake up the game.
