Jens Grede, the Skims co-founder, told the magazine:

"Kim is the Michael Jordan of the influencer generation. Many 19-year olds who never watch Jordan play and don't play basketball themselves wear Air Jordan sneakers every day. Maybe you don't watch The Kardashians every single week, but you're a Skims customer."

Kim Kardashian's Skims Men is a new offering and has partnered as the official underwear of the NBA. She believes that men also have many insecurities, whether they talk about them or not, just like women and use shapewear to smooth their figures. She also said that she wanted men to find out the hype about shapewear.

She also points out that her love for menswear comes from her childhood memories when she'd often play in her father, Robert Kardashian's designer belts, suits, and ties.
