FAQs

What does Dri-FIT mean?

Dri-FIT is Nike's signature high-performance, microfiber, polyester fabric that moves sweat away from the body and to the fabric surface, where it evaporates. As a result, Dri-FIT helps you stay dry and comfortable.

Are these shorts suitable for all types of sports?

Yes, their breathable design and moisture-wicking properties make them suitable for a wide range of athletic activities, including running, gym workouts, team sports, and training sessions where comfort and dryness are key.

Can I wear these shorts for swimming?

While the fabric is designed to wick moisture, these shorts are not specifically designed as swimwear. Prolonged exposure to chlorinated water or saltwater may affect the fabric's longevity and performance over time.

Do these shorts have pockets?

Info needed: Check product specifications for pocket details.

Are these shorts true to size?

Nike athletic apparel generally runs true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual body shape. We recommend consulting Nike's official size guide if you are unsure.

Are these shorts available in other sizes or colors?

This particular product is the Nike Academy Shorts in Black, size XS. Other sizes and colors may be available as separate product variants, but this guide pertains specifically to the Black XS version.

What material are these shorts made of?

Info needed: Check product specifications for exact material composition. However, as they feature Dri-FIT technology, they are primarily made from high-performance polyester.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel less effective at wicking sweat over time.

Ensure you are avoiding fabric softener during washing. Fabric softener can leave a residue that clogs the pores of technical fabrics, reducing their moisture-wicking properties. Wash thoroughly without softener to restore performance.

Shorts feel uncomfortable or restrictive during movement.

Double-check that you have the correct size. These shorts are a specific size XS. If the fit feels off, it might indicate an incorrect size selection for your body type. Ensure the waistband sits comfortably without digging in or slipping.

Odor retention even after washing.

Wash the shorts immediately after exercise to prevent sweat from settling into the fabric. Consider using a sports-specific detergent designed to combat odors in athletic wear. A pre-soak in a solution of white vinegar and water can also help neutralize odors before washing.

These shorts are designed to be compatible with a wide range of athletic tops, sports bras, and footwear, making them a versatile addition to your workout gear. For optimal care and to maintain the performance of the Dri-FIT fabric, please follow these guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can clog the fabric's pores, reducing its moisture-wicking capabilities.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry low or hang dry. Air drying is often preferred to preserve fabric integrity.
  4. Bleach: Do not bleach.
  5. Ironing: Do not iron, as high heat can damage the technical fibers.
