Kim Kardashian’s much-anticipated new shapewear collaboration, NikeSkims, drops Sept. 26 — and on Wednesday morning, the star debuted the sporty range with a “Bodies at Work” presentation on the steps of the New York Public Library.
Sister Khloé and the ultimate momager, Kris Jenner, were there to support Kim, turning out in coordinated looks from the new collection — the first collab between Skims and Nike to date. The trio sat front row, in all-black directors’ chairs, to watch the performance.
While Kim chose a long-sleeved V-neck crop top and high-waisted leggings topped with an oversized puffer coat, Khloé opted for a short-sleeved mock neck with the same leggings. Kris stood by their side in a slim zip-up hoodie and shiny nylon jogger pants, and all three wore oversized dark sunglasses to finish off their looks.
Having teased the debut on Instagram on Tuesday night, the performance was public for all passersby, the music heard from blocks away.
In shorts, leggings, sports bras and more, the models were dressed in pieces from the NikeSkims collection — all in shades of brown — and stood in seven lines on the step of the library.
As the music began, the women performed synchronized moves that were evocative of both a pre-workout stretch and the NikeSkims campaign, which stars women athletes including Serena Williams, Sha’Carri Richardson, Jordan Chiles and Chloe Kim.
Kardashian has had a busy few days. French Vogue revealed her October cover shoot on Friday, for which she posed in bed wearing nothing but Cartier diamonds.
Inside the magazine, she delivered subtle shade to ex-husband Kanye West, discussing her fresh sense of confidence and saying, “Before, I constantly needed to check with someone before making a decision.”
Continued Kim, “Can you imagine? It’s crazy to rely so much on others’ opinions.”
In keeping with her newfound inner strength, a performance collection with one of the largest sportswear brands in the world seems like the perfect fit.
Set your alarms: NikeSkims will be available to shop on Friday, September 26 at 7 a.m. PT at Skims.com and select Nike and Skims retail locations. It will be available in 58 different silhouettes with sizes ranging from XXS to 4X, and prices from $38 to $148.
