FAQs

What does '2-in-1' mean for these shorts?

The '2-in-1' design means these shorts feature a looser outer layer combined with integrated, snug-fitting inner compression tights. This provides both freedom of movement and muscle support.

Are these shorts suitable for long-distance running?

Yes, they are designed for long distances. The integrated compression helps reduce muscle fatigue, the AEROREADY technology manages sweat, and the anti-abrasion materials prevent chafing, all crucial for comfort on longer runs.

How should I wash these shorts?

These shorts are made from 100% recycled polyester and should be machine washed in cold water on a gentle cycle. Air dry them by hanging or laying flat, and avoid using fabric softeners or a tumble dryer to preserve their performance features.

Do these shorts have pockets for my phone and keys?

Yes, they feature a secure zip phone pocket, which is ideal for keeping your smartphone safe during activity. There are also additional inner pockets for smaller items like keys or energy gels.

What is AEROREADY technology and how does it benefit me?

AEROREADY is adidas' moisture-wicking technology. It works by drawing sweat away from your skin and allowing it to evaporate quickly, keeping you dry, cool, and comfortable throughout your workout.

Are these shorts environmentally friendly?

Yes, a significant feature of these shorts is their composition of 100% recycled polyester. This commitment to using recycled materials helps reduce plastic waste and contributes to a more sustainable product.

What kind of fit can I expect?

The shorts feature a regular fit, which means the outer layer is cut to be loose and comfortable, providing freedom of movement. The inner compression layer offers a snug, supportive fit underneath.

Troubleshooting

Experiencing chafing despite anti-abrasion materials.

While designed to prevent chafing, individual body mechanics can vary. Ensure the shorts are the correct size and not too tight or loose. Applying anti-chafing balm to sensitive areas before a run can also help, especially on very long distances.

Shorts feel too warm during a run.

The 2-in-1 design offers support but can trap more heat than single-layer shorts. If running in very hot and humid conditions, consider hydration and take breaks. For future purchases, you might explore single-layer shorts for extreme heat, though these shorts are designed for sweat management.

Phone or items feel insecure in pockets.

Ensure you are using the zip phone pocket for your smartphone and other valuables. The zipper closure provides maximum security. For smaller items in inner pockets, make sure they are compact and not prone to bouncing excessively. Consider an arm band or running belt for very large items if the pocket size isn't sufficient for your specific needs.

Moisture-wicking properties seem less effective over time.

This can sometimes happen due to build-up from detergents or fabric softeners. Ensure you are avoiding fabric softeners during washing, as they can coat the fibers and reduce their ability to wick moisture. Run a wash cycle with only water and a small amount of white vinegar to help strip any residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your adidas Own the Run 2-in-1 Running Shorts is straightforward. Simply pull them on and adjust the drawcord-adjustable elastic waist to achieve your desired snugness. Ensure the inner compression layer sits comfortably against your thighs for optimal support.

Compatibility

These shorts are highly compatible with a range of athletic gear and activities:

  • Footwear: Pair seamlessly with any running shoes or training sneakers.
  • Apparel: Compatible with various athletic tops, t-shirts, or jackets.
  • Activities: Designed for running (short, medium, long distance), gym workouts, cross-training, and general athletic activities.

Care

Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your shorts. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions, but generally:

  • Machine Wash: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Using a mesh laundry bag can help protect the fabric.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric and moisture-wicking properties.
  • Drying: Air dry by hanging or lay flat. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as high heat can degrade the recycled polyester and elastic components.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
  • Softener: Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the fibers and reduce the effectiveness of the AEROREADY technology.
