FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for all genders?
While explicitly designed for women, their functional athletic design means they can be worn by anyone who finds the fit comfortable and appropriate for their activity. Always check the size guide for the best fit.
Can I wear these shorts for swimming?
While the polyester fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are not specifically designed as swimwear. Prolonged exposure to chlorinated water may affect fabric integrity or color over time.
Do these shorts have pockets?
No, the Nike Academy Shorts are designed with a streamlined silhouette for unrestricted movement and do not include pockets.
How do I choose the correct size?
These shorts are a UK Size 12. For best fit, measure your waist and hips and compare them to Nike's official size chart for women's apparel. The drawcord offers some adjustability.
What is Dri-FIT technology?
Dri-FIT is Nike's signature performance fabric technology designed to move sweat away from your skin to the fabric's surface, where it quickly evaporates, helping you stay dry and comfortable during physical activity.
Can I machine wash these shorts?
Yes, these shorts are machine washable. Please refer to the care instructions for best practices, including washing in cold water with similar colors and avoiding bleach.
Are these shorts durable?
Yes, made from 100% polyester, these shorts are designed for durability and to withstand the rigors of athletic training when cared for properly.
Is the waistband comfortable?
The elasticated waistband with an adjustable drawcord is designed to provide a secure yet comfortable fit that can be customized to your preference, preventing digging or slipping during movement.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the drawcord in the elasticated waistband for a more customized fit. If still uncomfortable, ensure you have the correct size; refer to Nike's general size guide for apparel.
Fabric feels damp and doesn't dry quickly during activity.
Ensure you are using the shorts for activities they are designed for, which allow for air circulation. Avoid wearing cotton undergarments, as cotton absorbs and holds moisture.
Embroidered logo is peeling or damaged.
Always avoid ironing directly over the logo. Use a cool iron if needed, and place a thin cloth over the logo before ironing. Follow washing instructions carefully to prevent undue wear.
Shorts develop an odor after use.
Wash immediately after intense workouts to prevent odor-causing bacteria buildup. Use an athletic-specific detergent if odors persist. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
