Fans of Kim Kardashian will have to wait longer for the NikeSKIMS activewear line, now set to launch later this year rather than in the originally planned spring timeframe due to internal production delays. Sources familiar with the matter, who requested anonymity, confirmed that these setbacks are not related to suppliers or shipping issues. A new launch date has not yet been established.
Despite the delays, the relationship between Kim Kardashian and Nike remains strong, with both parties committed to ensuring the products meet high standards before release. Nike first announced the collaboration in February, stating that the line would encompass apparel, footwear, and accessories. However, the partnership’s visibility changed with the departure of Heidi O’Neill, a key figure in the collaboration, from Nike.
New Nike CEO Elliott Hill is focused on revitalizing the brand amid a challenging sales climate, with Nike’s stock down over 20% this year. The collaboration with SKIMS, which has a valuation of $4 billion, presents an opportunity for both brands to tap into the growing athleisure market. The aim of the NikeSKIMS line is to introduce innovative products that cater to a modern generation of women seeking both performance and style in their fitness endeavors.
The initiative is described as an effort to bring fresh, unexpected offerings to an industry looking for innovation. As anticipation builds, fans and the industry alike are eager to see how this partnership will evolve.
