FAQs
What material are the Nike Academy 25 Shorts made of?
The shorts are made primarily from lightweight, smooth knit polyester fabric.
How does the Dri-FIT technology work?
Dri-FIT technology is a special Nike fabric construction designed to move sweat away from your body to the fabric's surface, where it can evaporate, helping you stay dry and comfortable.
Are these shorts suitable for women?
These shorts are specifically designed for men. While some women may choose to wear them, the fit and sizing are tailored for a male physique.
Do these shorts have pockets?
The product description does not specify pockets, suggesting they may not be included or are minimal. Please refer to product images or detailed specifications if available.
What is the main purpose of the mesh panelling?
The mesh panelling is integrated to provide optimal airflow and ventilation, especially in high-heat areas, to help keep the athlete cool and dry during intense activity.
How should I wash these shorts?
Machine wash cold with like colors. Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed. Tumble dry low. Cool iron if necessary. Do not dry clean. Refer to the care label for precise instructions.
What does 'slim fit' mean for these shorts?
A slim fit means the shorts are cut closer to the body than a regular fit, offering a more streamlined appearance and reducing excess fabric for better mobility without being overly tight.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still too slim for your preference, consider a different model or size up if available and acceptable for athletic performance.
Excessive sweat even with Dri-FIT
While Dri-FIT enhances moisture-wicking, extreme conditions or heavy exertion may still lead to some sweat. Ensure the mesh panelling is not obstructed. Wash the shorts regularly as performance can decrease with accumulated body oils and residue.
Drawstring is difficult to adjust
Ensure the drawstring is not tangled. Gently pull both ends simultaneously. If it remains stiff, check for any internal knots or manufacturing defects.
