Reality TV and social media superstar Kim Kardashian has seen a ton of success on the business front since launching her loungewear, underwear, and apparel brand SKIMS back in 2019. And it sounds like things are going so well for the company that she’s expanding the brand and adding a men’s line – and she’s turning to one prominent NFL star to help promote the rollout.
This week, Kim Kardashian and SKIMS announced that they are debuting a men’s line this month, and San Francisco 49ers superstar pass rusher Nick Bosa is serving as a model and ambassador for the new product launch along with a couple of other sports stars – international soccer superstar Neymar Jr. and Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Nick Bosa appeared in his first ads for the company on Monday along with the other two stars.

“If it’s not SKIMS Mens, it won’t get past elite edge-rusher Nick Bosa,” SKIMS said in a follow-up post.
The announcement that Bosa was partnering with Kardashian for SKIMS generated quite a few reactions on social media.

It makes sense that SKIMS would partner with Bosa given that he is one of the most prominent players in the NFL right now after winning the league’s Defensive MVP last year. We’ll have to see how his partnership with the brand develops.
