NikeSKIMS Drop 2 Lands in the UK: A Collaboration Growing in Confidence

When Nike teamed up with Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS earlier this year, the partnership was greeted with a mix of curiosity and doubt. Now that the second NikeSKIMS release has arrived in the UK, it is clear the project is moving beyond early hype and settling into its own direction.

Drop 2 builds on the first launch with more certainty. The range now includes 65 pieces, covering training gear, layering items and clothes that work for day-to-day wear. What sets this release apart is how directly it responds to what people need from activewear, something reliable for exercise yet comfortable enough for a normal day.

The Matte, Shine and Airy materials return, each updated to feel more focused. Matte keeps its supportive structure but now benefits from additional Nike performance technology. Shine stands out as the bolder choice thanks to strong panel designs that move away from the usual safe tones seen across the market. Airy, with its light knit construction, remains the easiest option to throw on without overthinking.

The unexpected addition in this drop is the Woven Nylon collection. The Wrap Coat in particular is attracting early interest because it works far beyond gym settings. It has an easy, relaxed shape that sits well over everything from leggings to casual outfits, making it a practical top layer rather than a piece added simply for impact.

The size range is broad, continuing the collaboration’s intention to include as many body types as possible. In a market where full inclusion is still not guaranteed, that commitment matters.

The colours used across the release lean towards deeper neutrals supported by darker reds and stronger contrasting tones, especially within the Shine designs. Instead of chasing short-term fashion moments, the choices feel considered and built for longer use.

Across the UK, the first drop sold quickly, and interest in this release suggests a similar pattern. What separates NikeSKIMS from typical celebrity partnerships is its reliance on well-built design rather than publicity alone. The materials hold up, the cuts are thoughtfully shaped and the overall approach feels more like a developing label than a one-off collaboration.

Drop 2 is now available on nike.com, skims.com and selected physical stores. Based on the response to the first release, certain items may move fast.
