FAQs
What age group are these shorts for?
These shorts are designed for kids, with the specific size M corresponding to UK children's size 9-10.
What material are the shorts made of?

Do these shorts have pockets?

What does DriFIT technology do?
DriFIT is Nike's moisture-wicking technology that pulls sweat away from the body to the fabric's surface, where it evaporates, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.
Are these shorts suitable for all sports?
They are primarily designed for football training and general athletic activities due to their lightweight, breathable, and slim-fit design. They can be used for other sports or PE classes as well.
How does the fit compare to other shorts?
These shorts feature a 'Slim Fit', meaning they are cut closer to the body to reduce bulk and enhance the athletic profile, which might feel tighter than a standard or relaxed fit.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight
Ensure the elastic waistband is fully stretched and the drawcord is loosened. If the slim fit is uncomfortable, consider trying a size up or a different style.
Reduced breathability
Check that the mesh side panels are not obstructed by other clothing layers. Ensure the fabric is clean and free of dirt or debris that could block airflow.
Drawcord is difficult to manage
For younger children, adults may need to tie the drawcord securely. If it becomes too difficult to untie, a small knot at the end of the cord can help, or consider not using the drawcord if the elastic provides sufficient fit.
