FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for intense workouts or running?
While durable and lightweight, these polyester shorts are best suited for moderate gym sessions, casual wear, or light activities.

What material are these shorts made of?

How should I wash these shorts to maintain their quality?

Can I iron these shorts?

Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too warm during activity or lack breathability.
Polyester, while lightweight, can sometimes retain heat more than natural fibers like cotton during intense activities. These shorts are optimized for comfort in moderate activity and casual wear. For high-intensity workouts, consider specialized performance shorts with advanced moisture-wicking and ventilation features.
Shorts develop static cling after washing/drying.
Static electricity is common with synthetic fabrics like polyester. To reduce static, use a fabric softener during the wash cycle or add a dryer sheet when tumble drying. Ensuring proper drying (not over-drying) can also help.
Fabric feels slightly stiff or less soft than expected.
New polyester garments can sometimes have a slightly firmer feel. A few washes with fabric softener can help to soften the material over time. Ensure you're washing according to care instructions to prevent any harshness from detergent residue.
Color appears faded or dull after washing.
Always machine wash cold with like colors and use a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals. Excessive exposure to direct sunlight during drying can also contribute to fading, so consider air drying in the shade.

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Nike Club Shorts. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.
- Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Using cold water helps preserve the fabric's integrity and color.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can damage the polyester fibers and affect the color.
- Drying: Tumble dry low. For best results and to prevent potential shrinking or damage from excessive heat, consider air drying by laying flat or hanging. Polyester dries relatively quickly.
