ALBAWABA - Nike and Kim Kardashian 's Skims collaboration delayed indefinitely due to production issues.
According to Bloomberg, the launch of NikeSkims has been postponed, so customers who were eager to acquire that sculpted Kardashian appearance will have to wait a little longer.
NikeSkims is experiencing production delays, the business source claimed on Wednesday, citing people with knowledge of the situation.
In an X post in February, Kardashian, the co-founder and chief creative officer of Skims, described NikeSkims as "a new brand coming this spring for the body-obsessed."

According to Bloomberg, Nike CEO Elliott Hill stated in March that the first "comprehensive collection" from the new brand would likely be accessible during the fiscal quarter that concluded in May.
According to an unnamed insider who spoke to Bloomberg, Nike plans to launch the new brand later this year.
The partnership with Skims will encompass training wear, footwear, and accessories "designed to meet the unique needs and preferences of women athletes around the world," according to a February Nike news release.

The press announcement stated, "The new brand combines SKIMS' passion for the female form and innovative search for solutions for every body with NIKE, Inc.'s world-class approach to advanced innovation, sport science, and athlete insights."
Nike stated at the time that a "global expansion" was planned for 2026 and that the first collection would make its domestic debut in the spring.
The release date of the initial collection and its follow-up worldwide line is still unknown. Additionally, consumers are still unsure of the precise clothing items that will be part of the collection.
In a February news release, Kardashian stated, "Nike and SKIMS share a deep commitment to innovation, inclusivity, and pushing boundaries, driven by an unwavering belief in the power of women."
"This collaboration is the result of that common vision, providing product that is painstakingly crafted to sculpt and perform for every body," she added. Each and every element has been meticulously thought out and obsessed over.

Trump's crypto fortune soars to $11.6 billion
ALBAWABA- A new investigative analysis claims that U.S. President Donald Trump has amassed a personal fortune of $11.6 billion from cryptocurrency holdings, making up nearly three-quarters of his estimated $15.9 billion net worth, while in office. The report, published Thursday by watchdog group Accountable and detailed by The Intercept, alleges that Trump rapidly built his crypto empire by leveraging his presidential powers to benefit his private financial interests. According to the group, this shift marks a stark departure from his pre-presidency wealth base, with traditional business ventures now accounting for less than half of his fortune. 'The more the President's wealth depends on anonymous investors around the world with hidden agendas, the greater the risk.' — The Intercept (@theintercept) August 9, 2025 'Soon after signing his 'Big Ugly' law that strips health care and food security from millions, President Trump pushed legislation that padded his net worth by billions through dubious crypto schemes,' said Caroline Ciccone, president of Accountable. She warned that the President's reliance on 'anonymous investors' worldwide poses risks to U.S. national security and public trust. The group's findings challenge earlier Bloomberg estimates that pegged Trump's crypto assets at roughly $620 million out of a $6.4 billion net worth. Accountable argues that Bloomberg significantly undercounted both his digital holdings and total wealth, citing the volatile value of meme coins like the $TRUMP token and other assets linked to his family's World Liberty Financial venture. Critics have also noted that Trump has aggressively rolled back cryptocurrency regulations, signed the 'stablecoin' law, and hosted high-profile receptions for meme coin holders. The White House rejected the allegations, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt calling them 'fabricated conflicts of interest' and reaffirming the administration's pledge to make the United States 'the crypto capital of the world.'

Emma Thompson reveals how Donald Trump stalked her on ‘Primary Colors' set
ALBAWABA - Emma Thompson shares shocking story of Donald Trump's unexpected on-set pursuit. Emma Thompson, who is a guest of honor at the Locarno Film Festival this year, told an intriguing story this morning about a weird meeting she had with Donald Trump, the 47th president. Thompson was asked about filming the 1998 Mike Nichols movie Primary Colors during a job Q&A with a large crowd. She said she was in her room one day on the set of the movie when the phone rang. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - DECEMBER 09: Emma Thompson (Photo by Jason Mendez /Getty Images via AFP) "Trump was there." "Hello, this is Donald Trump," he said. "How can I help you?" I asked because I thought it was a joke. Thompson made a joke: "Maybe he needed help finding his way." The British star went on, "Then he said, 'I'd love for you to come stay at one of my beautiful places.'" We might be able to have dinner together. I told them, "That's really nice." Thanks a lot. I'll get back to you. Thompson, imitating Trump's unique voice, said she didn't understand why the former Apprentice host called her or how he got the number to her trailer phone at first. But she quickly saw what was going on. Thompson said, "I knew that day that my divorce decree had been sent through." "And I'm sure he has people looking for good people to take out on his arm." He was looking for a kind divorcee, you know. Plus he found the number in my cabin. That is stalking, you know." Thompson also said, "I could have gone on a date with Trump and had something interesting to say." I was empowered to change the course of American history. WASHINGTON, DC - AUGUST 07: U.S. President Donald Trump (/AFP) In another part of the session, Thompson talked about several movies she had worked on, such as Richard Curtis's Love Actually. Thompson expressed her constant confusion about the movie's popularity, attributing it to its unique approach. "I mean, I'm honestly always amazed that movie made it this long. It's not that I don't like the movie. She said, "I like it a lot, but it's weird." Thompson said that the scene in the movie where her character finds out that her partner has been cheating on her "touched a nerve" because "we get a heartbreak, especially women; we have to hide it because we don't want people to see it." "So what moves you? Isn't she crying?" Thompson said, "It's her covering it up afterward, making the bed, going downstairs, and being happy." When asked about her part in Harry Potter, however, Thompson wasn't as interested in talking about how she did. "That's not really an important part of my creative work." I'm sorry. I don't even mean to be rude to those of you who like Harry Potter, but you know, I came in, did a bit with glasses and a lot of hair, and then left having been quite well paid,' she said to loud laughs from the Locarno audience. Thompson got the Leopard Club Award last night in Locarno for his work over the years. The event lasts until August 16.
