Nike x SKIMS Opens in New York: A Sculptural Celebration of the Human Form

Nike and SKIMS join forces in New York City with a striking new retail installation that redefines the intersection of sport, style, and sensuality. The collaboration comes to life through a space designed by Faye McLeod, where every detail embodies the shared values of strength, inclusivity, and movement.

Inside, the atmosphere feels intimate yet monumental. Oversized sculptural forms of the human body flow throughout the space, creating a dialogue between power and softness — a reflection of the collaboration’s balance between athletic performance and body-conscious design. The palette is rooted in warm brown tones and natural textures, enveloping visitors in an environment that feels both grounded and elevated.

“Every project is a team sport,” shares Faye McLeod. “Thank you Nike and SKIMS for the trust, vision, and collaboration — it’s an honour to create in your NikeSKIMS world. This was all made with love. CLOSER.”

Special thanks were given to Mark Loy, underscoring the collective effort behind the project.

Much like the collection itself, the store’s design celebrates the beauty of movement and form — an immersive expression of what happens when innovation meets intimacy. The Nike x SKIMS experience invites visitors to step closer, to feel, and to connect — a sculptural ode to confidence, collaboration, and the modern body.
