FAQs
What is Dri-FIT technology?
Dri-FIT is Nike's proprietary technology designed to move sweat away from your body and to the fabric surface where it can quickly evaporate. This helps keep you dry, comfortable, and focused on your performance.
Is this shirt suitable for all sports?
Yes, the Nike Academy SS Shirt is highly versatile due to its moisture-wicking and breathable properties. It's excellent for football, running, gym workouts, basketball, and general athletic training where staying dry and comfortable is key.
Can women wear this shirt?
While listed as a 'Male' gender product, athletic wear can often be unisex. Women can certainly wear this shirt if the fit and style are to their preference. It's designed for an adult fit, so checking the size chart will be important.
How should I wash this shirt to maintain its performance?
Machine wash cold with similar colors. Tumble dry low or line dry. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Crucially, avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the Dri-FIT technology.
What material is the shirt made of?
The Nike Academy SS Shirt is made from 100% polyester, a durable and quick-drying synthetic fabric that is ideal for athletic performance.
Does the mesh back panel make the shirt see-through?
The mesh back panel is designed for breathability. While it offers increased ventilation, it typically isn't transparent enough to be a concern during athletic activity, maintaining appropriate coverage.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels heavy or soaked with sweat during intense activity.
Ensure you are not using fabric softener when washing, as it can block the moisture-wicking pores. Also, consider the intensity and duration of your activity; extremely prolonged or high-intensity exercise may still cause significant perspiration, but the shirt is designed to mitigate this as much as possible.
Fabric feels rough or uncomfortable after washing.
Verify you are washing the shirt in cold water and tumble drying on low or air drying. High heat can sometimes alter the texture of synthetic fabrics. Avoid using harsh detergents.
Odor retention despite washing.
Wash the shirt immediately after use. For persistent odors, try soaking the shirt in a mixture of white vinegar and water (1 part vinegar to 4 parts water) for 30 minutes before a regular cold wash cycle. Ensure proper drying, as damp clothes can foster odor-causing bacteria.
Color fading after multiple washes.
Always wash with similar colors to prevent dye transfer. Use cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid excessive sun exposure during line drying, as UV rays can contribute to fading over time.

Care Instructions
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your Nike Academy SS Shirt. Always check the garment's care label for the most accurate instructions, but generally:
- Machine Wash Cold: Wash with similar colors on a gentle cycle.
- Do Not Bleach: Bleach can damage the fabric and affect its moisture-wicking properties.
- Tumble Dry Low: Or line dry to preserve fabric integrity and fit. High heat can damage polyester.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing can melt or damage the synthetic fibers.
- Do Not Dry Clean: Avoid dry cleaning to protect the specialized fabric treatments.
- Avoid Fabric Softeners: Fabric softeners can clog the pores of the Dri-FIT material, reducing its moisture-wicking effectiveness. Use detergent only.
