FAQs
What material are the Nike Core Swoosh Cycle Shorts made from?
They are made from a soft and stretchy jersey fabric, consisting of 61% Cotton, 33% Polyester, and 6% Elastane.
Are these shorts suitable for high-intensity workouts?
Yes, they feature sweat-wicking properties which make them suitable for various athletic activities, including cycling and gym workouts, by helping to keep you dry and comfortable. For very high-intensity, long-duration activities, pure synthetic fabrics might offer superior quick-drying properties.
How do I choose the right size for these shorts?
These shorts have a tight-fit design. We recommend referring to Nike's official size guide for accurate measurements to ensure the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for fit (tighter or slightly more relaxed).
Can I wear these shorts for swimming?
No, these shorts are not designed for swimwear. The fabric blend and design are intended for athletic activities and casual wear on land, not for submersion in water.
How should I wash these cycle shorts?
These shorts are machine washable. It's recommended to wash them inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, with similar colors. Avoid using bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry for best results.
Do these shorts have pockets?
Based on the product description, these shorts do not feature any pockets.
Are these considered high-waisted shorts?
Yes, they feature an elasticated, high-rise waistband for a comfortable and custom feel, providing good coverage and support around the waist.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to Nike's size chart. While designed for a tight fit, they should not restrict movement uncomfortably. If discomfort persists, consider trying a size up.
Fabric doesn't seem to be wicking sweat effectively.
Ensure you are washing the shorts correctly. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can leave residue that clogs the fabric's fibers and impairs its sweat-wicking capabilities. Wash separately from items that shed lint.
Swoosh logo is peeling or cracking.
To protect the logo, always wash the shorts inside out and avoid ironing directly over the logo. Use cold water and a gentle cycle. Excessive heat during washing or drying can also damage the print.
Shorts are shrinking after washing.
The cotton content in the blend can be susceptible to shrinking with high heat. Always wash in cold water and tumble dry on a low setting or, ideally, air dry to prevent shrinkage and maintain shape.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the quality, fit, and performance of your shorts. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions.
- Machine Wash Cold: Wash your shorts inside out in cold water to protect the fabric and the Swoosh logo. Use a gentle cycle if available.
- Use Mild Detergent: Avoid harsh detergents or those with bleach, as they can damage the fabric and affect its sweat-wicking properties.
- Wash with Similar Colors: To prevent color bleeding or fading, wash black items together.
- Do Not Bleach: Bleach can severely damage the fabric and elastic.
- Tumble Dry Low or Air Dry: For best results and to preserve elasticity, air dry your shorts by laying them flat or hanging them. If using a dryer, set it to a low heat or delicate cycle.
- Do Not Iron Decoration: Avoid ironing directly over the Swoosh logo. If ironing is necessary, do so on a low heat setting and iron inside out.
- Avoid Fabric Softeners: Fabric softeners can clog the fibers of sweat-wicking materials, reducing their effectiveness.
