FAQs
What is Nike Dri-FIT technology?
Nike Dri-FIT is a high-performance, microfiber polyester fabric that moves sweat away from the body and to the fabric surface, where it evaporates. This helps you stay dry and comfortable.
Can I wear these shorts for activities other than basketball?
Absolutely! While designed with basketball in mind, their sweat-wicking properties, comfort, and versatility make them suitable for general workouts, running, lounging, or any casual activity.
What material are these shorts made from?
These shorts are made from 100% polyester, offering durability, breathability (due to the mesh construction), and excellent moisture-wicking capabilities.
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 like your phone, keys, or earbuds.
Are these shorts lined?
Yes, the shorts are cut in mesh with a smooth knit lining, ensuring added comfort and preventing irritation against the skin.
How do I properly wash and care for these shorts?
Machine wash them in cold water with similar colors. It's best to air dry them or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid using bleach, harsh detergents, fabric softeners, and ironing to maintain their performance and longevity.
What does '8' in the product name 'Dri-FIT 8' signify?
The '8' typically refers to the inseam length of the shorts in inches, providing a specific fit that usually falls above the knee for most adults.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel damp despite Dri-FIT technology.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size for optimal fit, as overly tight or loose shorts can affect moisture wicking. Consider environmental factors; in extremely humid conditions, complete dryness may be harder to achieve. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can impede the fabric's wicking ability.
Pockets don't feel secure enough for items.
The pockets are designed for essentials like earbuds or a smartphone. Avoid overstuffing pockets with large or heavy items, which can cause them to sag or items to shift. For high-impact activities, consider using an additional waist pack for very valuable items.
Fabric appears to be losing its shape or elasticity after washing.
Review the care instructions carefully. Ensure you are machine washing with cold water and air drying or tumble drying on a low heat setting. High heat can damage polyester fibers and affect the garment's structure. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
Swoosh logo is peeling or cracking.
This is often caused by high heat exposure during washing or drying. Always wash in cold water and air dry or tumble dry on low. Avoid direct ironing on the logo. If the issue persists, contact Nike customer service.

Care Instructions:
To ensure the longevity and performance of your shorts, follow these care guidelines:
- Machine Wash: Always machine wash your shorts. Use cold water with similar colors to prevent fading or damage.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can break down the fabric's wicking properties and color.
- Drying: Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. High heat can damage the polyester fibers and affect the fit. For best results, air drying is recommended.
- Ironing: Avoid ironing. If necessary, use a very low heat setting and iron inside out.
- Fabric Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the Dri-FIT fabric, reducing its sweat-wicking effectiveness.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
