Skims and Nike have just unveiled an entirely new brand

Independent18-02-2025
Kim Kardashians' shapewear label Skims has built quite a reputation for mega collaborations. From the gloriously garish Dolce & Gabanna collection (think leopard print corsets and robes) to the recent skiwear line with The North Face (it sold out within hours, naturally), the brand is going from strength to strength.
Now, the entrepreneur has revealed a 'long-term partnership' with Skims and Nike – but it's not merely another collaboration. This time, Kim K is taking it one step further by creating an entirely new brand with the legendary sports name.
Announcing the new venture on Instagram, the post reads: 'Introducing NikeSKIMS. A new brand coming this spring for the body obsessed.' Blending Skims' signature form-fitting shapewear with Nike's advanced sports science innovation, the brand is 'designed to sculpt and engineered to perform.'
While the powerhouse duo remains tight-lipped on the exact roster of products, we can expect an 'extensive line' of training apparel, footwear and accessories designed to meet the needs and preferences of female athletes.
Aiming to inspire and empower women in the gym, studio, on the track or just in everyday life, the brands claim its premium quality and style-forward pieces will be available to all women through inclusive and extended sizing, too.
'Nike and SKIMS share a deep commitment to innovation, inclusivity and pushing boundaries, driven by an unwavering belief in the power of women,' says Kim Kardashian. 'This partnership is the culmination of that shared vision, delivering product that is meticulously designed to sculpt and perform for every body. Every single detail has been obsessed over and carefully considered. We're incredibly excited to unveil our first collection this spring.'
From when it launches to the products we can expect to shop, here's everything you need to know about NikeSKIMS.
When does NikeSKIMS launch?
According to the Instagram announcement and website, the NikeSKIMS debut collection will launch in the US at select retail locations in the spring. The UK and elsewhere will have to wait a little longer, with global expansion stated for 2026.
What will NikeSKIMS sell?
The full product list remains under wraps, but the website states that the brand will sell an extensive line of training apparel, footwear and accessories. The website also states there will be extended sizing throughout the collection. We can also expect several fresh takes on classic Nike shoe styles like the air max muse and air superfly, as well as signature silhouettes like the A'One and Sabrina 2.
As Skims are involved, there's guaranteed to be some sculpting and figure-contouring shapewear in the mix – perhaps in the brand's signature neutral tones, too.
According to Heidi O'Neill, president of consumer, product and brand at Nike, the collection 'will invite even more athletes into sport and movement with product that makes them feel strong and sexy.' Similarly, the designs are said to be 'functional and flattering'. While the collection might not go as far as to be 'butt enhancing' (see Skims' latest viral launch), it is said to be high-performing for sports, using innovative technology and materials.
If this winter's The North Face collab is anything to go by, get ready to shop NikeSKIMS when it launches in the spring.

'Then between the two of you, that communication, that teamwork, prioritising the baby and making sure that you know they are the forefront of any decision you make as a family, is there.'

Eamonn Holmes shares rare update on ex-wife Ruth Langsford

Eamonn Holmes shares rare update on ex-wife Ruth Langsford Eamonn Holmes has shared an update following his split from Ruth Langsford in a post about their rescue dog Eamonn Holmes mentioned his ex Ruth Langsford in a post about their rescue dog Maggie this week (Image: (Image: Ken McKay/ITV/REX/Shutterstock)) Former ITV This Morning presenter Eamonn Holmes mentioned his former wife Ruth Langsford in a post about their rescue dog Maggie this week. He's offered a glimpse into their current arrangements after paying homage to Maggie over the weekend. ‌ Eamonn and Ruth, both 65, revealed last year that they had chosen to part ways after 14 years of marriage. The ex-couple, who share a son, were subsequently reported to be embroiled in a custody battle over their beloved pooch Maggie, whom they had welcomed into their family in 2011. ‌ Following his recent post about Maggie, Eamonn returned to Instagram with a fresh update. It featured him praising Ruth, who frequently shares posts about walking Maggie, and hinted at his future plans. ‌ Eamonn informed his followers that Maggie would appear in the Times this week. He penned: "So much interest and Love for Maggie following yesterday's post to the extent that she is going to star in @thetimes on line from tomorrow and this week's Sunday Times." Eamonn Holmes posted about his dog Maggie today after paying tribute to her over the weekend (Image: Instagram/ @eamonnholmes) The former This Morning presenter, who has faced health challenges in recent years, continued by explaining that his ex handles "all the hard stuff" with Maggie. He commented: "Ruth does all the hard stuff with her because of my Wheelchair restrictions but working hard to hopefully get better soon and adopt another #Rescue #Dog like we did from @dogstrust all those years ago!" ‌ The presenter shared: "Maggie changed my life and she was making me very happy in The Sunshine today. In many ways she reminds me of my dearly departed Mum - a really bad knee and hardly any teeth left but not bad for a 17 year old!" reports the Mirror. Eamonn, who supports the rescue group K-9 Angels, concluded: "Please try to Adopt and Not Shop if u can. from organisations like @thek9angels and @dogstrust Enjoy the Sunshine but please be aware of your dog in a car and it's little feet on hot pavements. Bye from Maggie and Me." The journalist, who used Randy Newman's song You've Got A Friend in Me from Toy Story (1995) in his post, had previously posted about Maggie. Alongside photos, he said in his earlier post: "17 years apart ... and we r both still going - JUST. Maggie and Me #dogstrust #adoptdontshop." ‌ He mentioned his ex Ruth Langsford, with whom he had adopted Maggie, in the post Following their separation, Eamonn and Ruth were reportedly having "difficult conversations" about where Maggie would reside. There were even rumours of a custody dispute over the dog between the former couple. However, it was suggested in May last year that Maggie was likely to primarily stay with Loose Women panelist Ruth. A source told the Sun at the time that Maggie is "like a daughter" to the exes, who were both said to "dote" on her. Article continues below The source further revealed to the outlet: "But she's getting on and they know she needs stability. It's a case of who can give her that." They added that the thought of "giving her up" was "heartbreaking" for GB News presenter Eamonn. A source revealed that Eamonn "adores" the dog, but hinted at the possibility of the pet going to his ex. They stated last year: "But if Ruth is able to get out and about and walk her more, then it may well be that she gets Maggie in the split."

Zoe Ball makes 'sad' revelation after brutal response from daughter Nelly

Zoe Ball's insight into her family life comes after her dad Johnny Ball made a revelation about her relationship with her ex-husband Fatboy Slim Zoe Ball has opened up about a "sad" shift in the bond with her daughter Nelly. The 54-year-old is mum to 24-year-old son Woody Cook, and Nelly, 14, with her former husband Norman Cook, who is better known as Fatboy Slim. ‌ Speaking about sleeping arrangements on her latest Dig It podcast episode with Jo Whiley, Zoe expressed disappointment over her daughter's reluctance to share overnight stays with her. ‌ The BBC Radio 2 host revealed: "I love going to sleep in the same bed as Nel. When she's here, I'm like, 'Do you want to stay the night? It's a girl's night - wanna stay the night?' ‌ "And it's really sad when she just looks at me and is like, 'No mother' and shuts the door. Or looks at me and says, 'No mother, go to bed now'. "And my favourite thing [is], if you do get to share a bed with your kids, sometimes, I know it sounds creepy, but just looking at their faces as they sleep, it doesn't matter how old they are, you look at them and I always have those moments of just remembering their faces when they were babies and it's like, 'Look at you, all grown up'." ‌ Zoe frequently offers followers glimpses into her home life through her Instagram account, which features snaps of her children, her well-known father Johnny Ball, and her late mum Julia. However, one thing she prefers to keep private from fans is details about her love life. In photographs shared by The Sun in June, the broadcaster was spotted clasping hands with an unknown gentleman at Glastonbury Festival. ‌ A source revealed to the publication: "Zoe is down at Glastonbury as a punter and has brought her new boyfriend along for the ride. "They seemed blissfully happy and were strolling along holding hands. ‌ "She was really smiling at him as they walked along and he was very protective of Zoe and put his hand across her back. "People were doing double takes at her bloke though because he looks a lot like Fatboy. It's so great to see Zoe smiling again." Zoe was married to Fatboy Slim from 1999 to 2016, and according to her father Johnny, they're now closer than ever before. Chatting to Boom Radio, he revealed: "They're very good friends today. They're divorced, but they're better... if you like, they're closer today than they were when they were married. And that's a lovely thing." After their divorce, Zoe began dating Billy Yates, who tragically took his own life at the age of 40 in 2017. The TV host later embarked on a romance with Michael Reed, but their six-year relationship ended after they reportedly grew apart.
