FAQs

What is Dri-FIT technology?

Dri-FIT is Nike's innovative polyester fabric designed to help you stay dry, comfortable, and focused by wicking sweat from your body to the fabric's surface, where it evaporates.

Are these shorts suitable for running?

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the Nike sizing chart for accurate measurements. The shorts have a regular fit, so consider your preference for looser or tighter athletic wear when selecting your size.

Can I wear these for casual use?

While designed for athletic performance, their comfortable fit and simple design make them suitable for casual wear, especially in warmer weather.

What is the material composition?

The Nike Academy Shorts are made from 100% polyester.

How should I wash these shorts?

Do these shorts have pockets?

This product description does not mention pockets. Typically, athletic training shorts like these may or may not include pockets.

Troubleshooting

Drawcord not staying tied

Ensure the drawcord is pulled through both eyelets securely. If the ends are frayed, consider knotting them or using a replacement drawcord.

Shorts feel uncomfortable or restrictive

Adjust the waistband using the drawcord for a more personalized fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size; refer to the size chart if unsure.

Fabric pilling after washing

Wash inside out and avoid washing with items that have zippers or rough textures. Use a gentle cycle and air dry if possible.

Dri-FIT technology seems less effective

Ensure fabric softener is not used, as it can coat the fibers and reduce moisture-wicking capabilities. Wash with detergent only and consider a pre-wash treatment for athletic wear.
