Product Information
Full details
These Nike Alumni French Terry Shorts are designed for adult males seeking versatile comfort for both active and relaxed settings. The key benefit is their midweight French terry fabric, which offers structure, breathability, and softness suitable for the gym or lounging. A potential caveat is that the unbrushed loops on the inside may be less soft than fully brushed fleece for some preferences. Key features include a relaxed fit, adjustable waistband, secure pockets, and durable construction.

FAQs
What is French Terry fabric?
French Terry is a type of fabric with loops on one side and a smooth surface on the other. It's known for being soft, breathable, and absorbent, making it suitable for activewear and loungewear.
Can these shorts be worn for intense workouts?
These shorts are designed for comfort and breathability, making them suitable for moderate workouts like gym sessions or stretching. For highly intense or demanding activities, specialized performance shorts might offer more technical features.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Refer to Nike's official sizing guide for men's shorts. The product details mention a relaxed fit through the seat and thighs.
What are the specific care instructions?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, tumble dry low, do not iron, and do not dry clean. Always check the care label inside the garment.
Are the pockets deep enough for a phone?
The shorts feature hand pockets and a back pocket. While the description doesn't specify depth for modern smartphones, the back pocket's snap closure suggests it's intended for securing smaller items.
What does 'unbrushed loops on the inside' mean for comfort?
This means the inner surface of the fabric has the characteristic loops of French terry, rather than being brushed to a soft, fuzzy finish like fleece. This contributes to breathability and a structured feel, though it may be less plush than brushed fleece.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or loose
Adjust the fit using the external drawcord. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on Nike's sizing chart.
Fabric feels rough after washing
Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid high heat drying, which can sometimes affect fabric feel.
Pocket snap button is difficult to close
Ensure items in the pocket are not preventing the snap from closing correctly. The snap may loosen slightly with use.
