FAQs

Are these shorts true to size?

Yes, they follow standard youth athletic sizing. Refer to the specific age group and UK size indicators to find the best fit.

Can these be used for swimming?

While made of polyester, they are not intended as swimwear and lack the chlorine-resistant properties required for pool use.

Do these shorts have a drawstring?

Most models in this line feature an internal or external elastic waistband, often with an integrated drawstring for an adjustable fit.

How often should I wash them?

Wash after every use to prevent the buildup of sweat and bacteria in the technical fabric.

Is the fabric see-through?

The high-quality polyester woven fabric is designed to be opaque, providing full coverage for all athletic activities.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels damp after intense exercise

Ensure the shorts are not being worn with non-breathable base layers that trap heat and moisture against the skin.

Stains persist after washing

Pre-treat the area with a mild athletic-safe stain remover before cycling, and ensure the machine is not overloaded.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sweat-wicking Dri-FIT fabric keeps skin dry
  • Mesh panels provide excellent breathability
  • Lightweight material allows for unrestricted movement
  • Durable polyester construction withstands regular wash and wear

Cons

  • Fabric is thin and optimized strictly for athletics
  • Limited to specific size ranges for children
  • Does not include pockets for storage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

There is no setup required for the Nike Academy Shorts. To maintain the performance of the Dri-FIT material, it is recommended to machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce the effectiveness of the sweat-management system. It is best to hang-dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting to preserve the integrity of the fabric and prevent shrinkage.
