FAQs

What is Nike Dri-FIT technology?

Nike Dri-FIT is an innovative polyester fabric designed to help you stay dry and comfortable. It moves sweat from your skin to the fabric's surface, where it quickly evaporates.

How should I wash these shorts?

These shorts should be machine washed cold with like colors. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry for best results. Avoid using bleach and fabric softeners.

Can these shorts be used for activities other than basketball?

Yes, their versatile design, comfort, and sweat-wicking properties make them suitable for a variety of activities including gym workouts, running, and casual everyday wear.

What material are the shorts made from?

The Nike DNA Dri-FIT 8 Basketball Shorts are made from 100% polyester, offering durability, lightweight feel, and efficient moisture management.

Do these shorts have pockets?

Yes, these shorts feature an array of pockets, providing convenient storage for your essentials like earbuds or a smartphone.

Are these shorts lined?

Yes, they feature a smooth knit lining underneath the mesh exterior, which enhances comfort against your skin.

Are these shorts designed for men or women?

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel less effective at wicking sweat over time.

Ensure shorts are washed according to care instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can leave a residue that blocks the moisture-wicking properties of the Dri-FIT fabric.

Shorts appear wrinkled after washing and drying.

To minimize wrinkles, remove the shorts promptly from the washer and dryer. Line dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. If line drying, smooth out the fabric before hanging.

Stitching on the shorts appears loose or damaged.

Inspect the shorts regularly for signs of wear. For minor loose threads, carefully trim them. For significant damage or if the issue occurs shortly after purchase, refer to Nike's product quality guidelines or contact customer support.

Color seems to be fading after multiple washes.

Always wash shorts with similar colors and use cold water. Overuse of strong detergents or exposure to direct, prolonged sunlight during drying can contribute to color fading.

Care Instructions:

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Nike DNA Dri-FIT 8 Basketball Shorts, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents as they can damage the fabric and its moisture-wicking properties.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. For best results and to preserve the fabric's integrity, consider line drying. Avoid high heat drying as it can cause shrinkage or damage to the polyester fibers.
  3. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a cool setting. Do not iron directly on the Nike Swoosh logo or any graphic elements.
  4. Fabric Softeners: Avoid using fabric softeners. They can leave a coating on the fabric that clogs the pores, reducing the effectiveness of the Dri-FIT technology.
