FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for sports other than football?

Yes, their lightweight and moisture-wicking design makes them excellent for various sports like tennis, running, or gym training.

How long is the inseam on these shorts?

These shorts feature a four-inch inseam, providing a balance of coverage and mobility.

Can I put these in the tumble dryer?

While air drying is preferred to prolong the life of the material, they can be tumble dried on a low heat setting.

What material are the shorts made from?

They are constructed from 100% high-quality polyester, chosen for its durability and sweat-management properties.

Do these shorts have pockets?

No, these are professional-style performance shorts designed without pockets to reduce bulk and distraction on the field.

Troubleshooting

Waistband feels loose during play

Adjust the internal drawcord to ensure a tighter, more secure fit around the hips.

Shorts feel damp after short periods of exercise

Ensure you are not using heavy fabric softeners during laundry, as these can block the moisture-wicking properties of the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Nike Academy Shorts remain in peak condition, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the performance fabric and diminish the effectiveness of the Dri-FIT technology.
  2. Drying: Air drying is recommended to preserve the elasticity of the waistband and the integrity of the synthetic fibers. If you must use a dryer, choose a low-heat setting.
  3. Fit: These shorts are designed with a regular fit. Use the internal drawcord to customize the waistband tightness before beginning your warm-up to ensure they remain secure during high-intensity movements.
