Nike and SKIMS Continue Their Collaboration With a Sculpted Seasonal Evolution
NikeSKIMS returns with its second drop on this week, extending the partnership’s distinctive system of dress and continuing to blur the lines between performance and style. Merging Nike’s innovation in movement with SKIMS’ precision in fit and form, Drop 2 introduces sculpting, versatile pieces designed to move effortlessly from studio to street — low-impact to high-performance — unlocking new possibilities for layering, styling, and self-expression.
Comprising seven collections and 65 silhouettes, along with new accessories including socks, waist packs, and training gloves, the launch expands on the original NikeSKIMS debut with refreshed materials, seasonal colorways, and enhanced versatility. Core collections Shine, Matte, and Airy return with new silhouettes and hues: Shine introduces high-contrast panels in the new Shine Colorblock capsule; Matte refines compression and smoothing through Nike Dri-FIT technology; and Airy offers breathable mesh-inspired pieces, balancing fitted and oversized shapes for effortless layering.
Timed for colder weather, this season adds a new Woven Nylon category, led by the Wrap Coat, designed for softness, function, and freedom of movement. Returning favorites such as Weightless Layers, Vintage Seamless, and Matte Tricot continue to sculpt and flatter, while accessories complete the head-to-toe wardrobe system for the first time.
The accompanying imagery unfolds in two parts — a holiday campaign and an editorial lookbook. Captured by Daniel Shea with motion by Madison McKamey, the campaign celebrates women as a collective, spotlighting world-class speed skaters Maame Biney, Kamryn Lute, Kristen Santos-Griswold, and Courtney Sarault on a NikeSKIMS-branded rink. Their precision and power embody the edge of sport and the strength of femininity.
The lookbook, photographed by Hugh Wilson, highlights the NikeSKIMS system of dress as a new aesthetic language — one where performance and style are inseparable, and movement becomes an act of design.
