FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are made of polyester, they are designed for field sports and lack the specific resistance to chlorine found in dedicated swimwear.
Do these shorts have pockets?
This specific model of Nike Academy Shorts is designed for performance and typically does not feature pockets to keep them as lightweight as possible.
How should I choose the right size?
These shorts feature an elastic waist with a drawcord, allowing for an adjustable fit. Choose the size based on standard age-appropriate sizing or typical athletic apparel sizing for your child.
Can these be tumble dried?
It is recommended to use low heat if you must tumble dry, but air drying is best to extend the lifespan of the moisture-wicking technology.
What is the material composition?
The shorts are constructed from high-quality performance polyester, optimized for sweat-wicking and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord has retracted into the waistband
Use a safety pin attached to the end of the cord to carefully thread it back through the waistband opening.
Fabric snagging on rough surfaces
Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces like concrete or thorny bushes; use a fabric shaver to gently trim any loose threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Academy Shorts remain in top condition, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash inside out with like colors to protect the embroidered logo. Use a cold water cycle to prevent fabric shrinkage.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a machine, tumble dry on a low heat setting.
- Fit Guidance: The elasticated waistband provides flexibility for various body types, but ensure the drawcord is knotted loosely before the child starts vigorous activity to prevent pulling.
- Compatibility: These shorts pair effectively with standard football base layers or compression shorts if extra coverage is needed during colder months.
