Lisa pirouettes into NikeSKIMS' ballet-inspired campaign

NikeSKIMS is back with its latest Spring ’26 campaign, starring BLACKPINK’s Lalisa “Lisa” Manobal alongside professional ballerinas performing to a modern, breathy reimagining of Queen of the Night from Mozart’s The Magic Flute.

Directed by Sergio Reis and filmed in Paris, the campaign celebrates the grace and strength of motion while highlighting Lisa’s artistry and passion for dance. The professional dancers help bring the Spring ’26 collection lookbook to life, showcasing how the pieces move with the body.

The collection debuts a head-to-toe system of dress, featuring footwear, apparel, and accessories designed for women who want to move confidently and elegantly in every aspect of daily life. Drawing inspiration from modern ballerinas, the line offers a fresh take on performance silhouettes, blending style, comfort, and function.

Footwear joins the system with the NikeSKIMS Rift Satin, a reinterpretation of the iconic Nike Rift. It features a satin upper, minimalist midsole, textured logo outsole, quick-entry strap, and the signature tabi-toe design, available in red and black. The Rift Satin completes the collection’s cohesive wardrobe, balancing style and performance from head to toe.

“This Spring ’26 Collection celebrates the timeless poise and elegance of ballerinas with a modern twist. We obsessed over every detail — from soft lines and feminine colours to premium materials. Each piece is a statement of beauty and lets women move with confidence and grace," said Kim Kardashian, co-founder and chief creative officer, SKIMS.

“When I’m performing, it’s all about looking great while still being able to move and dance,” said Lisa. “The NikeSKIMS collection is so comfortable and light that I feel confident wearing it everywhere — from rehearsals to travelling or even relaxing at home. It’s easy to move in, looks amazing, and fits perfectly into my everyday life.”

In tandem, Jamie Jeffries, VP, global apparel, Nike, added, “The NikeSKIMS Spring ’26 Collection is a true head-to-toe system of dress, designed to make women feel confident and feminine. Every detail — style, function, and comfort — is considered so the pieces work seamlessly together. By combining Nike’s expertise in performance innovation with SKIMS’s inclusive fit and sculpting technologies, we’re delivering something truly unique for women everywhere.”

Nike and SKIMS first joined forces in February last year, combining Nike's expertise in sports innovation with SKIMS' form-flattering design. The collaboration aims to revolutionise training apparel, footwear and accessories for female athletes worldwide. 

Its first global campaign made waves in September last year, with the film titled "Bodies at work" featuring more than 50 athletes from Nike's portfolio including  Jordan Chiles, Romane Dicko, Beatriz Hatz, Chloe Kim, Nelly Korda, Sha’Carri Richardson, Madisen Skinner and Serena Williams.

The campaign also featured Kardashian who modelled the new NikeSKIMS collection while engaging in various sports. 

Meanwhile, NikeSKIMS is not the only brand putting Lisa front and centre. Earlier this week, the Tourism Authority of Thailand released campaign images featuring the K-pop idol, which sparked social media debate over their “too perfect” appearance, with some users accusing the authority of using AI.
