Matt Varga All it takes is a cursory look on the Nike US site to see just how invaluable the NikeSKIMS partnership is. Given its own spotlighted heading, it’s not hard to discern why; it gives the Swoosh an already approved, established, and highly relevant partner in the growing realm of women’s athleisure and footwear. They hit the ground running with several gymwear collections shortly after announcing their partnership, and though sneakers lagged a bit behind, the brands are beginning to find their footing in the latter category, with almost all of their efforts focused on the NikeSKIMS Rift Mesh.
The Rift, once positioned in the Nike catalog as a minimalist runner, has already found new life via Beaverton’s inline efforts; pony hair, animal print, and polka dot executions speak to its newfound fashion focus. The NikeSKIMS Rift Mesh only doubles down on those aims, keeping an overall sporty, retro vibe intact with layered exteriors, but the new thinned-down build and glossy finishes are meant to bring a real elegance and softness to the silhouette. Continuing a run of flooded looks, an “Navy” colorway builds off that foundation with a refined, stealthy overall profile.
The NikeSKIMS Rift Mesh in “Navy” is due out in the coming weeks, likely holding onto the standard $160 retail price.
