FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for running?
While designed for gym training, the 3-inch inseam and slim fit provide excellent mobility for runners who prefer minimal leg coverage and a stay-put design.
How does the sizing compare to standard gym shorts?
These shorts feature a slim fit. If you are between sizes or prefer a slightly less compressive feel, consider sizing up.
Can I put these in the dryer?
It is recommended to air dry them to preserve the elastic waistband and technical fabric properties.
Do these shorts have pockets?
The Performance Gym Shorts are designed for a minimal, streamlined profile and do not include pockets.
Are they opaque enough for squats?
Yes, the fabric is constructed to be performance-ready, offering coverage even during deep squats and lunges.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too tight during exercise
Ensure the waistband is lying flat against the hips and not twisted. If the tightness persists, verify that you have selected the appropriate size for your measurements.
Fabric irritation during long workouts
Ensure the garment is worn as a base layer or directly against the skin without excessive moisture buildup. If irritation persists, check for any seams or labels that may have shifted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Performance Gym Shorts, follow these care guidelines:
- Wash Cycle: Machine wash in cold water with like colors to maintain fabric elasticity and color vibrancy.
- Detergent: Use mild detergents; avoid heavy bleach or fabric softeners that can degrade the performance fibers.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to prevent heat damage to the elastic waistband; if you must use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting.
- Storage: Fold the shorts neatly to prevent the elastic waistband from becoming overstretched over time.
