FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for intense running or sports?

These shorts are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. The cotton material may become heavy when wet from sweat, making them less ideal for high-intensity training compared to polyester-based athletic gear.

Do these shorts have an inner liner?

No, these are casual lifestyle shorts and do not feature an integrated mesh liner.

How does the regular fit compare to other styles?

The regular fit provides a standard cut that is neither too tight nor overly baggy, offering a balanced silhouette that fits most body shapes comfortably.

Is the fabric prone to shrinking?

As they are made of cotton, there is a possibility of minor shrinkage if subjected to high heat in a tumble dryer. We recommend washing in cold water and tumble drying on low or air drying.

Can the pockets hold a smartphone?

The pockets are designed for small essentials. While they can accommodate most modern smartphones, heavy items may cause the shorts to sag slightly due to the weight of the cotton fabric.

Troubleshooting

Drawstring feels loose or slides through

Tie a small knot at the ends of the drawstring to prevent them from slipping into the waistband casing.

Fabric looks wrinkled after washing

Remove the shorts from the dryer while slightly damp or use a low-heat steam setting on an iron to smooth out the cotton fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your adidas shorts, follow these care guidelines: Machine wash the shorts in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using harsh bleach, as it may degrade the fabric fibers or alter the color. For drying, it is recommended to tumble dry on low heat or hang-dry to prevent shrinkage. If ironing is required, use a low-temperature setting to maintain the integrity of the cotton and the printed branding.
