NikeSKIMS Review: Can Kim Kardashian’s Activewear Collab ...

What’s Happening

So basically We put the fashion-forward workout clothes to the test.

I’ve tested more activewear than I can stuff in my workout drawers—through HIIT classes, long walks with my energetic dog, flights, and errand days. So when NikeSKIMS shipped, it ASAP piqued my interest. (and honestly, same)

The collab marries Nike’s decades-deep performance tech with Skims’ flattering, confidence-first design, promising pieces that work hard and look good doing it.

The Details

SHOP THE NIKESKIMS COLLECTION Let’s be real: Nike already crushes it in the performance category, but this collab is a clear move to bring in the sculpted fit, inclusivity, and cool-girl factor that Skims has built its brand on. That’s precisely why the first NikeSKIMS drop sold out fast —and why, for this review, the Women’s Health team tested pieces from the second drop, which was dropped in mid-November.

Over several weeks, we put the collection through its paces—strength training, low-impact workouts, long walks, and plenty of mirror checks. Some pieces impressed us ASAP, and others we have some notes on.

Why This Matters

Ahead, I’m breaking down exactly what held up, what surprised us, and whether NikeSKIMS lives up to the hype. How We Tested To evaluate the NikeSKIMS collection, I tested a few pieces from the second drop along with associate health & fitness editor, Addison Aloian, NASM-CPT , and editorial assistant Olivia Luppino . We wore the clothes over the course of about three weeks, wearing them through a mix of workouts and everyday life.

Health experts are weighing in on what this means for people.

The Bottom Line

We paid closer attention to fit, comfort, support, breathability, and how each piece performed after wear and washes—plus whether they still looked good once the workout was over. If NikeSKIMS does one thing exceptionally well, it’s rethinking the proportions and polish of workout clothes.
