FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the material is polyester, they are designed for field sports and lack the specific lining and salt/chlorine resistance required for consistent swimwear use.
Do the shorts have an inner liner?
No, these are standard athletic shorts without a built-in brief or liner.
What is the fit like?
They feature an athletic, slim-fit design. If you prefer a loose, baggy fit, you may want to consider sizing up.
Can I store my smartphone in the pockets?
The zippered pockets are ideal for small items, but larger modern smartphones may be too bulky for the pocket dimensions.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the standard Nike size chart based on your waist measurement to ensure the best fit across the available XS to XXL range.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too loose during movement
Ensure the internal drawcord is pulled tight and knotted securely before starting your exercise session.
Fabric holds onto odors after heavy use
Wash immediately after training. Using a sports-specific detergent can help break down sweat residue more effectively than standard soap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Academy Shorts, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors to prevent fading.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the moisture-wicking fibers; avoid high heat in the dryer.
- Ironing: Do not iron directly over logos or mesh panels.
- Bleaching: Avoid using bleach, as it can damage the specialized polyester performance fabric.
- Sizing: These shorts come in various sizes from XS to XXL. Because they have an athletic cut, check the measurement guide if you prefer a looser fit.
