Team USA to wear Kim Kardashian’s Skims at Olympics

Underwear worthy of a gold medal.

Kim Kardashian announced on Monday that her Skims brand will serve as Team USA’s official provider of undergarments and pajamas for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, as well as for the Paralympics.

“When I received the call inviting Skims to be a part of @TeamUSA, every moment I’ve spent admiring the strength and energy of the Olympians from the sidelines came full circle,” the 40-year-old superstar tweeted.

While this will mark the first time a brand’s been named as the team’s official underwear provider, our nation’s athletes will also be wearing Ralph Lauren uniforms, as they have since 2008.

Kardashian also noted her personal connection to the Olympics, as she grew up watching Caitlyn Jenner compete.

“I traveled w my stepdad and family to all different cities for the Olympic trials, the Olympics and track meets of @Caitlyn_Jenner’s and at every stop I would buy an Olympic t-shirt as a souvenir,” she recalled.

Ever since I was 10 years old, I’ve heard every single detail about the Olympics from my stepdad. As I would watch the athletes compete, I would grow to understand the dedication and honor being a part of the Olympics embodied. pic.twitter.com/JAyWhKP52B

Soccer star Alex Morgan, basketball player A’ja Wilson, Paralympian Scout Bassett, swimmer Haley Anderson and track & field athlete Dalilah Muhammad were chosen to model the designs in a new ad campaign.

The designs include bralettes, boxer briefs, tank tops, briefs, T-shirts, socks, leggings and more, all emblazoned with the United States flag, Team USA and the Olympic rings.

Kardashian also revealed that fans will be able to purchase the pieces as part of a special capsule collection on Skims’ website.
