The move marks a strategic shift under CEO Elliott Hill to strengthen Nike\u2019s position in the fast-growing women\u2019s athleisure market and compete with brands like Lululemon, Alo Yoga, and Vuori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nike has long dominated the sportswear industry but has relied heavily on its men-focused business. The partnership with Skims is expected to accelerate its expansion into the women\u2019s segment, which has been a key driver of growth for rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morningstar analyst David Swartz noted that Nike had previously missed out on the booming women&#8217;s athleisure market, which Lululemon successfully capitalized on over the past decade. &#8220;The Skims partnership is an effort to grow a little bit faster in that area,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new brand comes as Nike refocuses on its core sports roots, a strategy evident in its first Super Bowl ad in nearly 30 years, featuring star female athletes like Caitlin Clark and Sha\u2019Carri Richardson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the announcement, Nike shares surged 4% on Tuesday, marking their best performance since Hill took over as CEO in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NikeSKIMS will offer training apparel, footwear, and accessories tailored for women. The first collection will be available at select U.S. retail locations and online, with a broader retail and wholesale expansion planned for 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skims, launched in 2019 and valued at around $4 billion, has gained popularity for its premium shapewear and loungewear. With this collaboration, Nike aims to tap into that loyal customer base and solidify its standing in the competitive women&#8217;s activewear market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might like this article:<a href=\"https:\/\/stoxpo.com\/index.php\/2025\/02\/18\/intel-faces-potential-breakup-amid-takeover-speculations\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Intel Faces Potential Breakup Amid Takeover Speculations<\/mark><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Line Aims to Boost Nike\u2019s Presence in the Women&#8217;s Athleisure Market Nike (NKE) is set to launch a new women&#8217;s activewear brand, NikeSKIMS, this spring in partnership with Kim Kardashian\u2019s shapewear label, Skims.
