NikeSKIMS launched ‘Studio Stretch,’ an 11-piece activewear collection built around ultrasoft Lycra Adaptiv fabric engineered for stretch, movement and shape retention across yoga, Pilates and all-day wear. The NikeSKIMS Studio Stretch collection features Dri-FIT moisture management and intentionally lighter compression than other NikeSKIMS lines, available in soft neutral tones from XXS to 4X.
Silhouettes include bras, tops, shorts, leggings and a one-piece designed with minimal seams and waistband shaping to complement a range of body types. The collection also integrates with NikeSKIMS’ broader Weightless and Airy material lines for added versatility.
