Nike Alumni French Terry Shorts - Grey

While comfortable for light activities and gym sessions, their relaxed fit and cotton material make them more suited for casual wear or low-impact exercise rather than intense, sweat-heavy workouts where moisture-wicking properties might be preferred.

These shorts feature a relaxed fit. For specific sizing guidance, please refer to Nike's official size chart, usually found on the product page or Nike's website. The adjustable drawstring also offers some flexibility.

These French Terry shorts are made from midweight cotton, making them best suited for warmer temperatures or indoor use. For cold weather, you would need to layer them over thermal wear or opt for heavier, insulated apparel.

When following the care instructions (machine wash cold, tumble dry low/air dry, iron inside out if necessary), the Nike logo is designed to be durable. Avoid harsh scrubbing or high heat on the logo directly.

French Terry is a knit fabric with loops on one side and soft piles of yarn on the other. This construction makes it absorbent, moisture-wicking, and very comfortable against the skin, making it popular for loungewear and athletic apparel.

While this guide focuses on the Grey Heather version, the Nike Alumni French Terry Shorts are often available in other colorways, such as Black. Please check the product listings for current availability of other colors and variants.

Yes, they can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. However, for best results and to minimize potential shrinkage, air drying or line drying is recommended.

Cotton can shrink if washed or dried with high heat. Always machine wash cold and tumble dry low or air dry. Stretching them gently while damp can help restore some shape.

Ensure you are washing with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying for extended periods, as UV rays can contribute to fading.

This can happen with cotton. Using a fabric softener (liquid or dryer sheets) can help, but ensure it's suitable for the fabric. Also, make sure not to overload the washing machine, allowing proper rinsing.

Use a safety pin attached to one end of the drawstring. Thread the pin through the waistband casing, guiding it all the way around until it emerges from the other hole.

Pilling is common in cotton blends and areas of high friction. Use a fabric shaver or a de-fuzzing tool to gently remove pills. Washing inside out can also reduce pilling.
