Silk, split toes and a K-pop superstar: Nike and SKIMS are kicking off spring with a collab built for the studio and the street. Fronted by LISA of Blackpink, the NikeSKIMS Spring 2026 collection leans into ballet-core, pairing sculpting layers with a sleek take on the Nike Rift. The result is a head-to-toe system that looks like athleisure but is engineered for movement.
On February 5, that system lands as NikeSKIMS’ first head-to-toe offering, with footwear, apparel and accessories releasing together. Hero piece is the NikeSKIMS Rift Satin sneaker, dropping in Silt Red and Black via nike.com/NikeSKIMS, SKIMS.com/NikeSKIMS and select Nike and SKIMS stores. Expect the rollout to move fast.
NikeSKIMS Spring 2026: ballerina system of dress
Everything in the NikeSKIMS Spring ’26 Collection is built around the ballerina, with silhouettes designed to represent grace in motion and strength in form. SKIMS Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer Kim Kardashian explains, “This Spring ‘26 Collection celebrates the timeless poise and elegance of ballerinas but with a distinct modern twist,” according to Nike. “We obsessed every detail — from the soft lines and feminine colors to the premium materials. Each piece is a statement of beauty and allows women to move with confidence and grace.” The apparel line is split into five material stories:
- Matte: sculpting pieces with Dri-FIT and two compression levels.
- Stretch Knit: soft, lightweight styles with flattering drape.
- Ribbed Seamless: ribbed, stretchy looks with vintage wash and moisture-wicking tech.
- Weightless Layers: semi-sheer, ultra-light pieces with quick-dry performance.
- Woven Nylon: relaxed layers focused on softness, function and movement.
NikeSKIMS frames that wardrobe as a head-to-toe system that lets women move from rehearsal to school, work or travel without changing the core pieces. “The NikeSKIMS Spring ’26 Collection is a true head-to-toe system of dress, designed to make women feel confident and feminine,” says Jamie Jeffries, VP, Global Apparel, Nike. “We’ve paid attention to every detail — from style and function to comfort — so every piece works together seamlessly. By combining Nike’s expertise in performance innovation with SKIMS’s inclusive fit and sculpting technologies, we’re delivering something truly unique for women everywhere.”
NikeSKIMS Rift Satin: LISA, design and feel
At the center of the drop sits the NikeSKIMS Rift Satin, a spin on the 1996 Nike Rift, the barefoot-running shoe inspired by Kenyan athletes and Japanese tabi footwear. The new version keeps the iconic split toe but swaps mesh for a satin-sheen upper, adds a single midfoot strap for quick entry and lockdown, and rides on a low-profile minimalist midsole with a textured logo outsole. Offered in Silt Red and Black, the sneaker is priced at $160 in women’s sizing.
On-foot, the Rift Satin is light and close to the ground, giving a nimble feel while leaning into the softness of a ballet flat. “When I’m performing, it’s all about looking great while still being able to move and dance,” said LISA. “The NikeSKIMS collection is so comfortable and light that I feel confident wearing it everywhere — from rehearsals to traveling or even relaxing at home. It’s easy to move in, looks amazing, and fits perfectly into my everyday life.” With ballet-core all over social feeds, Silt Red is primed for styled shoots while Black looks like the everyday staple.
