FAQs

Do these shorts have an inner liner?

No, the Nike Academy Shorts are designed as standard performance shorts without a built-in brief liner.

Can I use these for swimming?

While the material is synthetic, these are designed for field and gym training; they are not intended for use as swim trunks.

How does the slim fit compare to regular shorts?

The slim fit is more tapered and sits closer to the leg than regular-fit athletic shorts, offering a more streamlined look.

Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?

The zipped pockets are designed for small essentials like keys or cards; most modern smartphones may be too large for secure storage.

How do I choose the right size?

These shorts feature an elastic waistband with a drawcord, allowing for adjustment, but since they are a slim fit, we recommend selecting your standard size unless you prefer a very loose feel.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels damp or heavy after intense exercise

Ensure you are not using fabric softeners during laundry, as they coat the fibers and block the Dri-FIT moisture-wicking performance.

Zipper is sticking

Check the mesh lining for any trapped fabric or debris; clean the track gently with a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Nike Academy Shorts, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash in cold water with like colors. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can interfere with the moisture-wicking capabilities of the Dri-FIT fabric.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible to maintain the shape of the elastic waistband and the integrity of the zippers.
  3. Ironing: Avoid ironing directly over the mesh panels or branding to prevent heat damage.
  4. Storage: Ensure the pockets are zipped when storing or washing to prevent zipper teeth damage or snagging on other items in your laundry.
