Can I put these in the dryer?

Troubleshooting

Waistband feels too loose during play

Adjust the quick-tie drawcord firmly and tie a double knot to prevent slippage during active movement.

Shorts feel damp after short periods of exercise

Ensure no fabric softener was used in the wash, as this blocks the pores of the moisture-wicking material.

Pros and Cons

  • Highly breathable with strategic mesh side panels
  • Adjustable waistband ensures a secure fit during play
  • Lightweight material prevents unnecessary bulk

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Nike Academy Shorts, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash inside out with similar colors in cold water.
  2. Detergents: Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can coat the technical fibers and impair the Dri-FIT moisture-wicking function.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably hang dry to preserve the integrity of the fabric and elastic.
  4. Ironing: If needed, use a cool iron, but avoid direct contact with any logos or printed details.
