FAQs
What material are the Nike Stride Shorts made from?
The shorts are made with at least 75% recycled polyester fibers, combined with other materials for optimal performance and comfort.
How do I know if I ordered the correct size?
Refer to the Nike sizing chart for apparel measurements. The 'M' in the product title indicates a Medium size.
Can I wear these shorts for activities other than running?
While designed for running, their lightweight and breathable nature makes them suitable for other athletic activities like gym workouts or casual wear.
Is the phone pocket suitable for all phone sizes?
The pocket is designed to hold most standard smartphones. For larger devices, the fit might be snug. It's recommended to test your phone's fit before a long run.
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, these shorts are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and moisture-wicking, meaning they will help manage sweat but are not intended to repel rain.
How should I wash these shorts?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use mild detergent, do not bleach, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.
What does 'Dri-FIT' mean in relation to these shorts?
While this specific variant is called 'Stride Shorts', many Nike running shorts feature Dri-FIT technology, which is designed to wick sweat away from the skin to the fabric's surface, where it can evaporate quickly.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel restrictive
Ensure you have the correct size. Check that the waistband is properly adjusted and not twisted. The design is meant for movement, so significant restriction may indicate an incorrect fit.
Phone pocket feels insecure
Ensure the phone is placed correctly in the designated back pocket. For larger phones, consider using a secure armband or running belt if the pocket doesn't provide adequate security for your needs.
Fabric feels rough or scratchy
Wash the shorts according to care instructions, potentially with a fabric softener. Some users may notice the texture of recycled materials. If the issue persists after washing, contact customer support.
