FAQs
What is Dri-FIT technology?
Dri-FIT is a high-performance microfiber polyester fabric that wicks sweat and evaporates it through an "action" or "chasing/wicking" effect, keeping you dry and comfortable.
Are these shorts suitable for all sports?
While designed for training and football, their lightweight and breathable nature makes them suitable for various athletic activities like running, gym workouts, and general sports.
How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?
The product specifies a UK kids size 10 and a generic apparel size L. Refer to Nike's official kids' size chart for specific measurements to ensure the best fit.
Can these shorts be worn by girls?
While marketed towards males, the unisex design and regular fit mean they can be worn by anyone who fits the size, though the specific color palette and branding are influenced by male athlete associations.
What is the material of the shorts?
The shorts are made from 100% polyester lightweight knit fabric.
How should I wash these shorts to maintain their quality?
Machine wash cold with similar colors, use a mild detergent, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Iron on a cool setting if necessary, avoiding direct contact with logos.
What does the 'KM Mbappe logo' represent?
The KM Mbappe logo is Kylian Mbappe's personal branding, indicating his collaboration with Nike on this apparel range.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the drawstring on the elastic waistband for a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected based on measurements.
Sweat not wicking effectively
Ensure the garment is not overly saturated with sweat. Wash the shorts according to care instructions, as fabric softener can sometimes impede wicking properties.
Color fading after washing
Follow care instructions strictly, washing in cold water and avoiding harsh detergents or bleach. Air drying can also help maintain color vibrancy.
Mesh panels feel uncomfortable
Ensure the shorts are the correct size. The mesh is designed for breathability; if it feels abrasive, try adjusting the fit or ensuring the fabric is fully dry.
