FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for long-distance running?
While these can be used for running, the 3-inch inseam and slim fit are primarily designed for indoor training and gym work. They may lack the coverage some runners prefer.
What does the 'Slim' fit type mean?
The slim fit means the garment is cut closer to the body to follow your natural silhouette, providing support and preventing the fabric from getting in the way during complex movements.
How do I determine my correct size?
These shorts are listed in generic apparel sizing. As a guide, the size 'S' variant corresponds to a UK dress size 10.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
We recommend air drying to keep the elastic and performance materials in the best condition. High heat can damage the fabric's elasticity over time.
What is the primary material used?
The Nike Performance Gym Shorts use a synthetic performance fabric designed for moisture management and durability during high-intensity training.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight during initial wear
The slim fit is intentional for performance. Ensure you have selected the correct size (e.g., S corresponds to a UK size 10) and verify that the waistband is sitting naturally on the hips rather than being pulled too high.
Fabric irritation after intense workout
Ensure the shorts are washed according to care instructions to remove accumulated sweat and salts, which can sometimes cause friction on sensitive skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Performance Gym Shorts maintain their elasticity and fit, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors to prevent fading or fabric degradation.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the elastic waistband and synthetic fibers. If using a machine, use a low-heat setting.
- Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or harsh fabric softeners, as these can break down the performance fibers of the garment.
- Storage: Fold the shorts carefully to prevent the waistband from becoming stretched or distorted over time.
