Kim Kardashian debuted NikeSkims on Monday. The inaugural apparel collection launches for sale on September 26.
NikeSkims spans seven different collections and includes 58 different silhouettes. Sizes range from XXS to 4X, and prices range from $38 to $148.
Her models include Serena Williams, Chloe Kim, Sha’Carri Richardson, Jordan Chiles, Madisen Skinner, and more.
‘To me, it just made sense,’ said the reality TV siren to Vogue.
‘Skims is very body-oriented—we do swimwear, loungewear, shapewear—so our next evolution was that we really wanted to do activewear.
‘Our dream was to work with Nike: Their legacy, innovation, and athlete insights—it was the perfect thing to mix with Skims, and our dedication to the female form.’
Also in her interview with Vogue, the 44-year-old shared what her exercise secrets are and which popular routine made her fall asleep.

The ex-wife of Kanye West said exercise is what makes her tick.
‘I love to work out—it’s my therapy,’ Kim stated adding she often listens to Justin Bieber Radio. ‘I work out every single day, and everyone I know works out multiple times a week.’
And she detailed her workout routine. ‘I’m a big weightlifter, so I do lots of weights,’ said Kim.
‘I’ve had some back issues, so I’ve had to re-adjust just some of my workouts, but I have to do lower body in order to stay toned. I do a few days of upper body. I usually pick a body part, and we stick to that for the day.
‘I do an hour and a half a day, with weights and stretching, and a little bit of cardio. I love pilates, so I will incorporate that, and I love wearing our pilates leggings. I find when I don’t incorporate pilates at least once a week, I can feel it in my back. I definitely need that lengthening and stretching.’
The law student also said she works out in the morning.
‘I am the kind of annoying workout person where I check my phone throughout the workout, though, and respond to people. I’m sure that really frustrates my trainer.’
Kardashian also revealed the routine she does not favor.
‘Honestly, I know I should get into hot yoga, but I did it once and I fell asleep. Just with the mood, and you lay down and close your eyes. I can fall asleep anywhere, so put me in the position to fall asleep, and I will.
As far as the NikeSkims line, it is a dream for the star.

‘We’ve really wanted to get into Skims sport, it was a really important next step for me…. We just wanted to make clothes that make you feel really good about yourself.
‘We wanted to form a whole new brand together to make sure that it was a lasting relationship, and that we both had equal shares in the innovation and development of the product.
‘When you do a collab, it’s so much fun, but I really wanted this to be a forever thing. Something that we can grow and evolve together. With all of the distribution that Nike has all over the world, I also want people to feel the NikeSkims brand all over the world. And I don’t think we could have accomplished that in one collection.’
And she is hands on with the designing.
‘I always have these little cellulite tests that I do in my fittings—certain requirements that I have in my head, like how a fabric has to have a certain amount of thickness, to really hold and snatch everything in place,’ noted the designer.
‘I also didn’t want anything that’s annoying or frustrating to put on. Sometimes, shapewear can be really restricting, but we’ve done a really good job at making sure it’s still really comfortable; I wanted our activewear to feel that way, too.

Williams and Kardashian have been pals for over a decade
‘I always want pieces that I feel really comfortable in and look really good in at the gym, so that it will motivate me to want to go more. Before, I used to really stick to a legging and a sports bra—I’m a creature of habit. I absolutely love all of our leggings and sports bras. I typically never wear a top over [a bra], but now I love layering our tops, like our thin little turtleneck top. I love the fabric.
‘I’ve never worn a long-sleeved top to work out in before, but now I’ll put a sports bra under it, and maybe even a hoodie over it. Or I will wear the leggings with baggy shorts over it.
‘There’s over 10,000 ways to mix all of these pieces. Someone once told me that, if you have all the right pieces in your closet, you don’t really need a stylist to put it together for you—they’ll just always work. If you have curated collection in your closet, not too many pieces, then nothing can be misconstrued—you’re always going to look good. I feel like that’s what this collection is.’
