FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for swimming?

While the material is quick-drying, these are designed as athletic training shorts and do not contain a chlorine-resistant lining or appropriate hardware for pool use.

How should I wash them to keep the fabric performing well?

Machine wash in cold water without fabric softeners and hang to dry to preserve the moisture-wicking technology.

Do these shorts have pockets?

The Nike Academy Shorts are designed with a streamlined, minimalist profile and typically do not include pockets.

What material are the shorts made from?

They are constructed from 100% high-quality polyester, which is chosen for its durability and moisture-managing capabilities.

Can these be worn as casual wear?

Yes, their athletic aesthetic makes them suitable for casual, sporty outfits, though they are optimized for performance.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels saturated after heavy sweat

Ensure the shorts are worn in a climate-appropriate environment and consider pairing them with technical moisture-wicking base layers.

Drawcord is difficult to tighten or adjust

Check that the internal cord is not twisted inside the waistband casing before pulling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your Nike Academy Shorts requires proper care to maintain the integrity of the performance fabric.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine Wash: Use a cold cycle with like colors to prevent color bleeding.
  • Avoid Bleach: Do not use harsh chemicals or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the Dri-FIT moisture-wicking properties.
  • Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's shape, though you can use a low-heat tumble dry setting if necessary.
  • Ironing: If needed, use a cool iron, but avoid ironing over the embroidered logo to prevent damage.
