NikeSKIMS introduces its first outerwear collection for Fall 2026, extending its wardrobe of body-contouring essentials into cooler weather. The new offering brings together functional materials, feminine silhouettes and versatile layering options, allowing women to build complete looks around the brand’s existing apparel. The launch marks another development in the NikeSKIMS head-to-toe approach, which combines sculpted fits with performance features for movement and daily dressing.

The collection introduces two material categories, Sherpa and Crunchy Nylon, each offering a different approach to outerwear. Sherpa focuses on warmth and softness through a vest, half-zip jacket and hooded jacket. These pieces feature high-pile Nike Therma-FIT material, brushed interiors and recycled nylon contrast panels. The designs complement existing NikeSKIMS styles and provide additional coverage as temperatures drop.
Crunchy Nylon explores volume and structure through water-repellent fabric with a textured surface. The range includes a cropped jacket, hooded parka, 2-inch shorts and wide-leg pants. The material gives garments defined shapes while introducing new proportions to the NikeSKIMS wardrobe. The two categories provide options for layering across different temperatures and everyday activities.
Kim Kardashian, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of SKIMS, explains the direction behind the latest release. “With NikeSKIMS, we want women to feel confident and put together, and this collection takes that even further,” she says. Kardashian also points to the expanded styling possibilities that outerwear brings to the collection, particularly through its newest colorway.
University Red takes a prominent role throughout the Fall 2026 offering. The shade appears across several established categories, including Matte, Weightless Layers, Performance Cotton Blend and Crunchy Nylon, alongside footwear and accessories. Kardashian identifies University Red as a personal favorite, describing its energy and the impact it brings to the collection.
NikeSKIMS also updates its existing apparel categories with additional colors and styles. Weightless Layers, Stretch Nylon, Performance Cotton Blend, Stretch Knit, Matte and Airy return with lightweight, breathable and moisture-wicking options. These pieces support the collection’s layered approach while maintaining the close-fitting silhouettes and technical qualities that define the brand’s apparel.
The Matte range expands with new body-contouring bras, introducing further options within the collection’s foundation pieces. Stretch Knit also receives new designs featuring single-layer yarn construction. This material creates a fluid drape and comfortable fit, adding another texture to the seasonal wardrobe.
Footwear remains an important part of the release. The NikeSKIMS Rift Satin arrives in Shadow Brown and University Red, joining the returning Silt Red colorway. These options connect the footwear range with the wider seasonal palette and continue the brand’s approach to coordinated dressing.
For the campaign, NikeSKIMS brings together its latest designs with the University of Alabama cheer team. The university maintains a three-decade, all-sport partnership with Nike, while its cheer team currently holds the UCA Division 1A championship title. The NikeSKIMS Fall 2026 collection launches globally on October 22.
