After a successful (and buzzy) September launch, Nike and Skims are back with a new collaborative line for spring.

NikeSkims’ Spring 2026 collection focuses on what the brand calls new “gym essentials” and includes great-looking, stylish and comfortable athleisure items that are perfect for working out as well as lounging.

The collection offers retro inspiration in shades of gray and deep blue, and is designed for “effortless movement,” according to the website. These products are a fusion of style and athleticism, an aesthetic trend that has grown in popularity over the past few years, thanks in part to Skims’ contribution to the athleisure sector. This balance allows users to get more out of their items, offering endless styling possibilities.

Featuring slimming Flashdance-inspired bodysuits, biker shorts, and headbands, as well as cuffed skirts, tabi-style shoes, and wide-legged pants, you’ll have fun from sweating it up at the gym to drinking matcha with friends. Prices for the new collection range from $150 to $20. You can shop the entire collection now on Nike’s website. Below, we’ve listed 10 of our favorite pieces from the line that you can buy right now, from tops to accessories.

This is a brand new colorway of the NikeSKIMS Rift, an often polarizing shoe silhouette with a lot of potential. For those unfamiliar with the Rift, it’s a split-toe model with a sleek, flat silhouette and Velcro closure. Think of them as a hybrid between dancer-like ballet flats and classic Mary Janes. We love this collaborative style because it’s not only much more interesting than your average white sneaker, but just as versatile and comfortable.

The split toe is not a new concept, but it draws the eye downwards and creates a focal point. The split toe contrasts with the color of the bones, making it very easy to wear, making it unique. Pair this with your favorite baggy jeans and cropped tee and you’re ready to go. Pair your Rift with leggings and a sports bra and you’re ready to master the stairs.

Bodysuits seem to be a must-have for Skims brand owner Kim Kardashian, and it’s understandable why. A one-piece style like this is easy to wear, very comfortable, hugs your curves, cinches your waist and looks very flattering. Plus, you look really put together without even trying. This long-sleeved number is made from Nike and Skims’ patented ultra-light, highly breathable airy fabric, providing enough breathability for layering. This aerodynamic surface is also great for people who aren’t afraid to sweat, allowing their skin to breathe while lifting weights or de-stressing on the treadmill.

Sweatbands and headbands like this are practical and super cute. This $20 item comes in a mostly grey-blue hue and features the co-branded Nike x Skims logo on the front. This piece appears to be another nod to the aerobics boom of the 80s and 70s. Today, it still manages to balance form and function, keeping sweat out of your eyes and hair from being pulled back.

This skort-like folded style has become quite popular over the past few years due to its versatility. The adjustable waistband can be worn high-rise or folded down to a mid-rise/low-rise, giving the wearer a ‘choose your own adventure’ experience to suit their fit preferences. The skort is also a winner in our book, as it has safety shorts underneath the skirt, providing the wearer with extra coverage. This is another piece from the collection made with crisp patented Nike x Skims Airy fabric.

This V-neck tank is a promising basic item. This glamorous piece, in a dark blue hue that coordinates with other pieces in the collection, features a plunging halter-style neckline that transitions to a criss-cross back that can be adjusted according to the wearer’s preference. Like most items in this collection, this top is form-fitting and hugs the wearer’s bust and waist. The shiny fabric of this top does just that, giving your body a smooth glow. We recommend wearing crop tops like this for low-impact activities such as yoga or pilates.

Yoga pants were all the rage in the late 90s and early 2000s. Dare we say it, this style is even more comfortable than standard leggings, so we’re hoping to see a return of this style in 2026. This is due to the relaxed fit below the knees found in most yoga styles. The bell-bottom-like finish gives the pants a refreshing feel. Again, this bottoms have a relaxed fit, so we recommend this item for low-impact activities. Think yoga, cycling, or a walk in the park with friends.

Spring has arrived and the weather is warming up, but there will still be holidays when the air feels bitterly cold. On unseasonably cold days, something like this track jacket will keep you a little warmer than your average cardigan, and the mid-length sleeves and cropped hem will keep you from feeling stuffy. A mock neck also brings extra warmth to the cropped zip-up. Like most, if not all, items in this collection, this zip-up focuses on complimenting the form rather than covering it.

Sweatpants like these are your go-to item when all else in your wardrobe fails. Thanks to the aforementioned airy fabric, it’s comfortable and breathable, allowing you to lounge around without getting stuffy. Sweatshirts are increasingly becoming a mix-and-match item, and Skims and Nike are capitalizing on that hardcore concept. For styling, opt for Nike x Skims Rifts and a comfortable zip-up. If you plan on going to the gym, a sports bra and running shoes will suffice.

I’ve never seen biker shorts like this before. The collaborative silhouette features a drawstring waist, allowing wearers to choose their own fit, and a retro-inspired stripe down the side. These shorts are made from stretchy fabric that allows for unrestricted movement. Like sweatpants, biker shorts are another item you can wear when you want to look stylish while still being comfortable.

A sports bra should be comfortable, supportive, and provide the coverage you need when you’re focused on working hard or hitting the gym. Thankfully, this style provides the wearer with medium support thanks to the T-strap back and comfortable coverage thanks to the soft molded inserts. Additionally, this bra is sweat-wicking and quick-drying. Adding style points, this bra is meant to give your body a flattering finishing touch.

I liken these leggings to the biker shorts I previously featured in this collection. That’s because they have essentially the same construction, right down to the drawstring waist and striped details. These leggings are different in that they offer more coverage to the wearer. Leggings are something you can wear for comfort and to look great. The color scheme and fit are so nice that I think you can style these leggings hundreds of ways before you get tired of them. This style is meant to sculpt the body, creating the flattering form-fit that has become synonymous with the Skims brand.
