FAQs
What is Dri-FIT technology?
Dri-FIT is Nike's proprietary fabric technology designed to move sweat away from your skin and to the fabric's surface, where it quickly evaporates. This helps you stay dry and comfortable during physical activity.
Is the slim fit comfortable, or will it feel too tight?
The slim fit is designed to provide a snug, athletic feel that moves with your body without excess fabric. For most, it's comfortable for performance. If you prefer a looser fit, we recommend sizing up.
Can I wear this shirt for everyday casual use?
While primarily designed for athletic performance, its comfortable fit and sleek design make it suitable for light casual wear or after-sport relaxation. However, it's optimized for activity.
What material is the Nike Academy SS Shirt made of?
The shirt is made from 100% polyester, offering durability, lightweight comfort, and effective moisture-wicking properties.
How should I wash this shirt to maintain its quality?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use a mild detergent, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean, as these can damage the fabric's performance features.
Is this shirt suitable for women?
While designed with an 'adult male' gender attribute, some women may find the slim fit and performance features suitable for their athletic needs. It's best to consult the size chart and compare it with your body measurements to ensure a comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels too tight or restrictive during movement.
The Nike Academy SS Shirt features a slim fit. If it feels overly restrictive, consider trying one size up. Ensure you consult the Nike size chart for accurate measurements.
Shirt still feels damp or sweaty after light activity.
Ensure the shirt is clean, as residue can affect wicking performance. Also, check that you are wearing it as a primary layer, not over a cotton undershirt, which can absorb moisture and reduce the effectiveness of Dri-FIT technology. For very intense sessions, proper hydration and environmental factors also play a role.
Fabric appears snagged or shows signs of wear prematurely.
Polyester is durable, but snags can occur. Avoid washing with items that have zippers or Velcro, which can catch on the fabric. Turn the shirt inside out before washing, and avoid abrasive surfaces during wear or storage.
Color seems to fade after several washes.
Always wash with like colors in cold water and use a mild detergent. Avoid excessive sun exposure when drying, as UV rays can contribute to color fading over time. Do not use bleach.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Getting the most out of your Nike Academy SS Shirt involves understanding its intended use and proper maintenance.
Setup

- Bottoms: Pairs perfectly with athletic shorts, track pants, or training leggings.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your shirt. Always check the label for specific instructions.
- Machine Wash Cold: Use a gentle cycle with cold water to protect the fabric and maintain its properties.
- Wash with Like Colors: This prevents color bleeding and maintains the shirt's appearance.
- Use Mild Detergent: Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive amounts of detergent.
- Do Not Bleach: Bleach can damage the fabric's wicking properties and color.
- Tumble Dry Low or Hang Dry: For best results and to prevent shrinkage, tumble dry on a low setting or hang the shirt to air dry. Air drying is often preferred for technical fabrics.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing can damage the polyester fibers and the Dri-FIT technology. If wrinkles are a concern, promptly remove from dryer or hang immediately after washing.
- Do Not Dry Clean: Dry cleaning chemicals can harm the fabric.
