Nike Sportswear Phoenix Fleece Over Oversized Hoodie - Black

While comfortable, the Nike Phoenix Fleece Oversized Hoodie's design is primarily for loungewear and casual use. Its oversized fit and midweight fleece are more suited for relaxation and warmth rather than high-intensity sports where breathability and a more tailored fit might be preferred.

The hoodie is made from a soft, brushed midweight fleece, consisting of 80% Cotton and 20% Polyester. This blend provides both comfort and durability.

The 'oversized' fit is an intentional design feature, offering a roomy and relaxed feel. If you prefer a more standard or less generous fit, you might consider sizing down one size. Otherwise, stick to your usual size for the intended aesthetic.

To best maintain your hoodie, machine wash it inside out with cold water and like colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, air dry flat to help preserve its shape and softness.

The Nike Swoosh logo on this hoodie is embroidered. This provides a premium, durable finish that is designed to last without cracking or peeling.

Thanks to its midweight brushed fleece, this hoodie is ideal for cooler temperatures. It's perfect for crisp spring and autumn days, and serves as an excellent layering piece during the winter months.

While listed under female gender attributes, the oversized fit and classic style of the Nike Phoenix Fleece Hoodie can certainly be worn by anyone who appreciates its comfort and aesthetic. Users should refer to the sizing chart to ensure the desired fit.

This hoodie is intentionally designed with an 'Oversized' fit for a relaxed and roomy feel. If you prefer a less spacious silhouette, consider trying one size down from your usual size. Review the product's sizing chart if available to understand the specific dimensions.

Pilling can happen with brushed fleece fabrics. To minimize it, wash your hoodie inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid washing with rough materials like towels. Air dry or tumble dry on a very low heat setting, removing promptly. A fabric shaver can be used carefully to remove existing pills.

You can re-thread the drawcord using a large safety pin. Attach the safety pin to one end of the drawcord, then feed the safety pin through the fabric channel of the hood, gently pushing and pulling it along until it emerges from the other side. Adjust to even out the cord.

Shrinking can occur if washed or dried at high temperatures, especially with cotton blends. Always machine wash cold and tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, air dry flat to maintain the original size and shape. Avoid hot water and high heat dryers.

To restore softness, ensure you're using a mild detergent and avoiding excessive amounts. Consider adding a fabric softener in the rinse cycle (if suitable for the fabric type) or a cup of white vinegar to the wash to help remove detergent residue that can make fabric stiff. Air drying can also help maintain softness.
