FAQs
What is Dri-FIT technology?
Dri-FIT is a high-performance microfiber polyester fabric designed to wick sweat and transport it from your body to the fabric's surface, where it evaporates. This process helps keep you dry and comfortable.
Is this shirt suitable for all sports?
The Nike Academy Shirt is primarily designed for training and football due to its moisture-wicking and lightweight properties. It is also suitable for other athletic activities like running or gym workouts.
What material is the shirt made from?
The shirt is made from 100% polyester, which contributes to its durability, moisture-wicking capabilities, and lightweight feel.
How should I wash the Nike Academy Shirt?
It is machine washable. It is recommended to wash in cold water with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid bleach and ironing.
Does the shirt have a specific fit?
The shirt features a standard fit. It is designed to be comfortable and allow for a good range of motion without being excessively tight or loose.
Can this shirt be worn in cold weather?
While breathable for active use, it is a lightweight shirt. For cold weather, it is best used as a base layer or combined with warmer athletic outerwear.
What does the contrasting stripe detail signify?
The contrasting stripe detail is a design element that adds a sporty aesthetic to the shirt, often seen in athletic apparel.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels damp or sticky
Ensure the shirt is washed with an appropriate detergent and rinsed thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impede the Dri-FIT technology. Ensure adequate drying after washing.
Seams are causing irritation
Verify that the shirt is the correct size and fit. The flat lock stitching is designed to minimize irritation, but a poor fit can sometimes exacerbate this. Ensure the care instructions have been followed, as incorrect washing can affect fabric texture.
Color fading after washing
Wash the shirt inside out in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals and direct sunlight during drying. Consider air drying instead of tumble drying.
