Full details

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While made of polyester, these are designed for training and not specifically for chlorine resistance or swimming.
Do these shorts have a built-in liner?
No, the Nike Academy Shorts are designed as a standard athletic shell without an internal liner.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The shorts feature a drawcord waistband, allowing you to cinch them for a tighter fit or loosen them for comfort.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
They are designed for small essentials like keys or cards; most modern large smartphones may not fit comfortably.
Can I tumble dry these?
While they can handle low heat, air drying is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the synthetic mesh panels.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord is stuck or twisted inside the waistband
Use a safety pin to guide the end of the drawcord back through the opening while keeping the fabric flat.
Shorts feel less moisture-wicking after many washes
Avoid using fabric softener in the laundry, as it clogs the technical fabric pores; perform a re-wash with a mild detergent.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Cons
- Polyester fabric may feel thin for some users
- Limited to athletic performance styling
- No internal liner
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the moisture-wicking fabric, follow these care guidelines: Wash in cold water with similar colors and avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can coat the Dri-FIT fibers and reduce their wicking effectiveness. Hang drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and shape over time. For fit, the size M provides a standard athletic cut suitable for most average-build adults; if you prefer a looser feel, you may want to compare your measurements against the standard Nike fit chart for the waist.
