nikeskims | the spring 26 collection

Who exactly decided ballet wasn’t LISA’s genre? Turns out, she can do pliés and performance tech. The Blackpink star is the face of the new NikeSKIMS Spring 26 Collection, marking the first time these two giants have teamed up for a complete head-to-toe system of dress. 

Taking inspiration from the world of modern ballet, the two labels have crafted pieces that focus on grace in motion and strength in form. It’s a lineup that works for every curve, blending Nike’s high-tech innovation with the famous sculpting power of SKIMS to ensure you feel supported whether you are in a rehearsal studio or on a long-haul flight.

The campaign, which was filmed in Paris and directed by Sergio Reis, showcases the beauty of movement. “When I’m performing, it’s all about looking great while still being able to move and dance,” says LISA. “The NikeSKIMS collection is so comfortable and light that I feel confident wearing it everywhere – from rehearsals to travelling or even relaxing at home.” 

Kim Kardashian, the Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of SKIMS, explained that “this Spring 26 Collection celebrates the timeless poise and elegance of ballerinas but with a distinct modern twist,” noting also that the team “obsessed over every detail” from the soft lines to the premium materials. 

The line features five different fabric stories, including Matte pieces with Dri-FIT technology for serious compression and Stretch Knit styles that offer a flattering drape. There is also a Ribbed Seamless collection with moisture-wicking tech, Weightless Layers that feel ultra-light and semi-sheer and Woven Nylon for those relaxed third layers that still allow for plenty of movement.

 

The real star of the show might actually be the footwear, specifically the introduction of the NikeSKIMS Rift Satin. It brings back the famous tabi-toe design of the original Nike Rift but updates it with a soft satin upper and a minimalist midsole. Available in Silt Red and Black, it features a sleek midfoot strap for a secure fit, making it a sophisticated addition to any outfit. 

“By combining Nike’s expertise in performance innovation with SKIMS’s inclusive fit and sculpting technologies, we’re delivering something truly unique for women everywhere,” says Jamie Jeffries, the VP of Global Apparel at Nike.

The full collection drops on February 5 online and at select Nike, SKIMS and partner retail stores. Find out more here.
