FAQs
Do these shorts have pockets?
No, the Nike Academy Shorts are designed with a streamlined, minimalist construction and do not feature pockets.
Are these true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing. Refer to the size guide for specific UK dress size equivalents to ensure the best fit.
Can I use these for swimming?
While the fabric is water-resistant, these are designed for field sports and gym use rather than immersion in chlorine or salt water.
What material are they made of?
These shorts are constructed from high-quality, durable polyester engineered for athletic performance.
How do I ensure the logo stays intact?
Turn the shorts inside out before washing to protect the embroidered logo from friction against the drum of the machine.
Troubleshooting
Waistband sliding down during exercise
Ensure the internal drawcord is tied securely before starting your workout.
Fabric retains a persistent odor
Soak the shorts in a mixture of water and white vinegar before a normal machine wash to neutralize odor-causing bacteria trapped in the polyester fibers.
Snags in the fabric
Avoid contact with rough surfaces or sharp objects; once a snag occurs, carefully pull the loop back through to the inside of the garment to prevent further fraying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Academy Shorts maintain their performance qualities, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors to prevent fading.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent; avoid using bleach or heavy fabric softeners as these can degrade the Dri-FIT moisture-wicking properties.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the elasticity of the waistband. If using a dryer, select a low-heat setting.
- Ironing: Generally not required; if necessary, use a cool iron to avoid melting the synthetic fibers.
