Nike will launch a new women's activewear brand in the U.S. this spring in partnership with Kim Kardashian-owned shapewear label Skims, as CEO Elliott Hill works to broaden its offerings to better compete with upstart brands.

SKIMS and Nike joined forces to "disrupt the industry" and create top-notch, new activewear that works for athletes of all levels.

The partnership—the first time in Nike history it’s launched a new brand with an outside company—is being marketed as a blend of what each brand is best known for. Nike is making a major play for female consumers and the athleisure market with its Skims partnership for a new women’s brand called NikeSkims.
