FAQs
What is Nike Dri-FIT technology?
Nike Dri-FIT is an innovative polyester fabric designed to help you stay dry by moving sweat from your skin to the fabric's surface, where it evaporates quickly. This keeps you more comfortable during physical activity.
Are these shorts suitable for sports other than basketball?
Yes, while designed for basketball, their sweat-wicking properties, comfortable fit, and durable material make them suitable for a wide range of athletic activities like gym workouts, running, or general training, as well as casual wear.
Do these shorts have pockets?
Yes, the Nike DNA Dri-FIT 8 Basketball Shorts feature an array of pockets, providing convenient storage for small essentials such as your phone, keys, or earbuds.
What material are these shorts made of?
The shorts are made from 100% polyester, which contributes to their durability, quick-drying capabilities, and moisture-wicking performance.
How should I wash these shorts?
For best care, machine wash these shorts with like colors on a cold cycle. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to maintain fabric integrity and Dri-FIT performance. Do not bleach or iron.
Are these shorts lined?
Yes, the shorts are cut in mesh with a smooth knit lining, which enhances comfort and reduces chafing during movement.
Will the striped pattern fade over time?
To help preserve the striped pattern and overall color, wash the shorts inside out and use cold water. Avoid harsh detergents and excessive heat during drying.
What is the inseam length of these shorts?
Info needed: Specific inseam length is not provided in the product description. Typically, '8' in the name might refer to an 8-inch inseam, but this should be confirmed by checking the product tag or official sizing guide.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel damp or heavy during activity despite Dri-FIT.
Ensure the shorts fit correctly; Dri-FIT works most effectively when the fabric has close contact with the skin. Also, consider the intensity of the activity and environmental conditions.
Fabric feels rough or stiff after washing.
Always machine wash using a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can sometimes clog the moisture-wicking fibers of performance apparel. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry.
Shorts appear to be losing color or looking faded.
To preserve color, wash inside out using cold water. Avoid direct prolonged sunlight when drying, and follow specific care instructions on the garment label.
