FAQs
What is Nike Dri-FIT technology?
Nike Dri-FIT is a high-performance, microfiber, polyester fabric that moves sweat away from your body and to the fabric surface, where it quickly evaporates. This helps you stay dry and comfortable during physical activity.
What material are these shorts made from?
These Nike Academy Shorts are made from 100% polyester, providing a lightweight and breathable feel.
How do I care for these shorts?
These shorts are machine washable. It's recommended to wash them with similar colors and air dry or tumble dry on a low setting to maintain their quality and performance features. Avoid bleach and high heat.
Are these shorts suitable for sports other than football?
Yes, while designed with football in mind, their sweat-wicking properties, lightweight feel, and comfortable fit make them highly versatile and ideal for gym workouts, running, or general casual sport sessions.
Are these shorts for men or women?
These specific Nike Academy Shorts in Black are designed for women, as indicated by the product description and attributes.
Do these shorts have pockets?
Info needed: The product description does not specify if these shorts include pockets.
What kind of fit do these shorts have?

Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too loose or too tight during activity.
Utilize the inner drawcord to adjust the waistband for a more secure or relaxed fit. If the overall fit is consistently problematic, refer to Nike's sizing chart to ensure you have the correct size for your body type.
Fabric does not feel like it is wicking sweat effectively, leading to discomfort.
Ensure the shorts are worn in an appropriate size for a close-to-skin fit without being overly restrictive, as this allows the Dri-FIT technology to work optimally. For extremely high-intensity workouts or in very humid conditions, sweat saturation is possible even with wicking fabrics. Ensure the shorts are clean before use, as residue can impact performance.
Shorts showing signs of wear, fading, or damage after washing.
Always strictly follow the care instructions: machine washable. Wash with similar colors on a gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, air dry to preserve fabric integrity and the effectiveness of the Dri-FIT technology over time.
