Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Nike Academy 25 shorts involves proper maintenance to preserve the technical fabric properties. Always wash the shorts in cold water with similar synthetic colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the Dri-FIT fibers and reduce their moisture-wicking effectiveness. For drying, it is best to air dry whenever possible; if you must use a dryer, select a low-heat setting. The drawstring should be tied loosely before washing to prevent it from getting lost within the waistband casing.
