Product Information
Full details
The Nike Academy II SS Shirt is designed for male athletes who require a high-performance training jersey that excels on the football pitch or in the gym. Its standout feature is the integrated Dri-FIT technology, which efficiently wicks moisture away from the body to keep you dry during intense physical activity; however, users should note that the polyester construction is optimized specifically for athletic use and may feel thin compared to casual cotton t-shirts.

FAQs
Is this shirt suitable for running?
Yes, the Dri-FIT technology and lightweight polyester construction make it excellent for running and other cardiovascular activities.
How does the sizing run?
The Nike Academy II follows standard athletic sizing; if you prefer a looser fit for training, you may want to size up.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
While technically possible on a low setting, air drying is preferred to prevent the polyester fabric from breaking down over time.
Is the material see-through?
The shirt is designed to be lightweight and breathable, which means the fabric is thin, but it is opaque enough for standard athletic use.
Does it shrink in the wash?
When washed in cold water as recommended, the polyester fabric is highly resistant to shrinking.
Troubleshooting
Fabric holds onto perspiration odors
Use a sports-specific laundry detergent or add a half-cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to neutralize odor-causing bacteria.
Snags appearing on the fabric
Avoid washing with items that have zippers, hooks, or velcro, as these can catch on the breathable weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Academy II SS Shirt, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using bleach, which can damage the synthetic fibers.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the performance fabric. If you must use a dryer, choose a low-heat setting.
- Ironing: Generally unnecessary; if needed, use a cool iron, but avoid direct contact with any heat-pressed logos or branding.
- Compatibility: This shirt pairs well with standard athletic shorts or base-layer compression gear for a complete training kit.
