FAQs
What material are the Nike Academy Shorts made from?
The Nike Academy Shorts are made from 100% Polyester.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
Refer to the product description which notes a model's height and the size they are wearing (6'1" and wears a size M in the description). It is advisable to check Nike's general sizing chart for apparel if available.
Can I wear these shorts for casual activities, not just sports?
Yes, while designed for athletic performance, the lightweight and comfortable nature of these shorts makes them suitable for casual wear as well.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The description mentions mesh-lined zip pockets. While they offer secure storage, the depth for specific phone models may vary. It is recommended to check reviews or product dimensions if phone storage is a primary concern.
How should I wash these shorts?
Machine wash in cold water with like colors. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
What does 'JD-exclusive' mean?
'JD-exclusive' indicates that these specific shorts were primarily available through JD Sports retail channels at the time of their release.
What is the fit like?
The shorts offer a regular fit with an adjustable drawcord waistband for a customizable fit. The model in the description wears a size M at 6'1", suggesting a potentially standard or slightly generous fit.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the drawcord at the waistband for a more secure or relaxed fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size based on product measurements.
Dri-FIT technology not performing as expected (e.g., not wicking sweat)
Ensure the shorts are washed according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners and excessive heat, which can clog the fabric's pores. Check for any pilling or damage to the fabric.
Zipper on pockets is difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. A small amount of lubricant, like graphite from a pencil lead, can sometimes help smooth sticky zippers. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
