Having initially launched in 2019 with its women\u2019s shapewear products, Kim Kardashian<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s Skims brand has today announced a menswear line.<\/p>\n

The new category for the brand is being promoted with a star-studded ad campaign featuring athletes Nick Bosa<\/strong>, Neymar Jr<\/strong>, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The spot, which was shot by long-time collaborator Donna Trope<\/strong>, sees the three men model the three new collections \u2013 cotton, stretch and sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe expansion into the menswear space is a major milestone for the brand and a testament to Skims\u2019 commitment to providing solutions for everybody,\u201d said Kim Kardashian<\/a>, founder and creative director of Skims.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo have an icon like Neymar Jr be the face of our launch campaign, along with NBA All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the NFL\u2019s top defensive player Nick Bosa, I think speaks volumes to the way Skims has evolved into becoming a brand that can provide comfort for all audiences, not just for women. I am incredibly excited about this next chapter for Skims and cannot wait for everyone to experience our amazing range of products.\u201d<\/p>\n

The collection will be exclusively available on the brand\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

\u201cSkims\u2019 decision to expand into this new category was reinforced by a growing number of men who have already embraced the brand\u2019s existing product offerings, with men accounting for over 10% of Skims\u2019 existing customer base,\u201d added Jens Grede, chief executive officer and co-founder of Skims.<\/p>\n

\u201cEntering the $111bn US men\u2019s apparel market unlocks an incredible opportunity for the business as we work to continue to reach new demographics and disrupt new categories for the next generation of consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who is the highly problematic model? Nick Bosa. Per Oh No They Didn\u2019t<\/a>, he has a history of intolerance and fondness for former President Donald Trump is well-documented. Prior to the 2019 NFL Draft, Bosa\u2019s controversial Twitter feed was notably scrubbed of tweets that, among other things, called Colin Kaepernick \u201ca clown\u201d for calling attention to racial injustice and referred to Trump and the late Ronald Reagan as the greatest US presidents of all time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to,\u201d Bosa explained. \u201cThere is a chance I might end up in San Francisco.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bosa\u2019s Instagram activity also drew criticism after it was discovered that he\u2019d liked several posts by a high school classmate captioned with homophobic and racist hashtags.<\/p>\n

Like his girlfriend, Nick Bosa\u2019s high school peer group was also toxic.<\/p>\n

Nick Bosa liked several now deleted IG posts where his friend used racist, sexually violent, and homophobic hashtags. pic.twitter.com\/QIEpxwsk5g<\/a><\/p>\n
