FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While made of polyester, these are designed for field sports and training, not specifically for chlorine-heavy pool use.
What does the XL size correspond to?
The XL size is intended for older children or larger juniors; please check the specific size guide for the exact waist and length measurements.
Do these shorts have pockets?
The Nike Academy Shorts are primarily designed for lightweight performance and typically do not feature pockets.
Is the material stretchy?
The polyester fabric provides a natural flexibility that allows for a full range of motion during athletic activities.
Can I tumble dry these?
Yes, but it is recommended to use a low-heat setting to preserve the performance properties of the Dri-FIT fabric.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord gets pulled inside the waistband
Use a safety pin attached to the end of the cord to carefully feed it back through the eyelet.
Fabric snagging
Avoid contact with rough surfaces or sharp objects; if a thread pulls, gently smooth the surrounding fabric to redistribute the tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Academy Shorts, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors to prevent fading.
- Detergents: Avoid using heavy bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the Dri-FIT performance technology.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers.
- Ironing: If needed, use a cool iron; avoid direct contact with any printed or embroidered logos.
These shorts are compatible with standard athletic apparel and pair well with compression leggings or jersey tops.
