FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While made of polyester, these are primarily designed for athletic training and gym use, not as dedicated swimwear.
Do these shorts have a built-in liner?
No, these shorts do not include an internal brief liner.
How should I choose the right size?
These follow standard Nike sizing for a regular fit. If you prefer a looser feel for casual wear, consider sizing up.
Can I put these in the dryer?
Yes, but it is recommended to use the lowest heat setting or hang dry to preserve the technical fabric performance.
Are the pockets large enough for a modern smartphone?
They are designed for small essentials, though many modern smartphones will fit securely due to the zipper closure.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after intense sweat
Ensure the shorts are not being washed with fabric softener, which inhibits the wicking technology.
Elastic waistband feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the integrated internal drawcord to achieve a customized fit that suits your specific waist size.
Snags appearing on the fabric surface
Avoid contact with rough surfaces and wash inside out, preferably in a laundry bag, to protect the polyester weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Dri-FIT Academy+ Shorts, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors to prevent fading.
- Detergent: Use mild detergents; avoid using fabric softeners as they can leave a residue that clogs the moisture-wicking pores of the Dri-FIT fabric.
- Drying: Hang dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat, which can damage the synthetic polyester fibers.
- Ironing: Generally not required due to the fabric's wrinkle-resistant nature; if needed, use a very low temperature setting.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and ensure items are fully dry before folding to prevent odors.
