FAQs
What is Dri-FIT technology?
Dri-FIT is a technology developed by Nike that helps you stay dry, comfortable, and focused by enhancing your natural cooling system. It works by wicking moisture (sweat) away from your skin to the fabric's surface, where it can quickly evaporate.
What is the fit of the Nike Academy Top?
The Nike Academy Top is designed in a regular fit, which offers a relaxed feel and allows for unrestricted movement.
Is this top suitable for all sports?
Yes, the Nike Academy Top is suitable for a wide range of sports and training activities due to its lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric and comfortable fit. It's ideal for football, basketball, running, and general gym workouts.
How should I choose the correct size?
Refer to Nike's official sizing chart for kids' apparel. Measure your child's chest, waist, and height to find the best fit. The 'XL' size is typically for older children or a roomier fit for younger ones.
Can I wear this top in cold weather?
While the fabric is breathable, it is lightweight. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer the top with a base layer underneath or a jacket over the top.
What is the material composition of this top?
The Nike Academy Top is made from 100% polyester.
What is the washing and drying recommendation for this top?
It is machine washable inside out with like colors, using mild detergent and cold water. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid fabric softener, bleach, and ironing directly on logos.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels sticky or uncomfortable after washing.
Ensure you are using mild detergent and washing in cold water. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the Dri-FIT fibers. Check that the garment is fully rinsed.
Color has faded significantly.
This can occur with frequent washing in hot water or direct sunlight exposure during drying. Try washing inside out in cold water and air drying away from direct sunlight.
Seams are coming undone.
Inspect the garment for any loose threads and carefully trim them. If the seam is significantly damaged, it may require professional repair or replacement.
