Product Information
Full details
The Nike DriFIT Academy 25 Shirt is designed for adult males seeking performance apparel for training, gym, running, or football. Its key benefit is the moisture-wicking DriFIT technology that ensures you stay cool and dry during intense activities. A potential caveat is that while made from 100% polyester, it may not offer the same breathability as natural fibers for very high-heat environments. This shirt features a comfortable crew neckline, short sleeves, a mesh back panel for airflow, and the iconic Nike Swoosh.

What material is the shirt made of?
The shirt is made from 100% polyester.
How does the DriFIT technology work?
DriFIT technology is Nike's advanced moisture management system that actively pulls sweat away from your skin to the surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate quickly.

It features a standard athletic fit designed for movement, not too tight and not too loose.
Can I wear this shirt for casual outings?
While designed for performance, its classic crew neck and simple design make it suitable for very casual wear, though its primary function is athletic.
How should I wash the shirt to maintain its properties?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach only if needed, and tumble dry on low. Avoid fabric softeners and dry cleaning.
Is there a difference between the Academy 25 Shirt and other Academy shirts?
The Academy 25 typically refers to a specific season's model within the broader Academy line, often featuring updated fabric or design elements for that year. Core features like DriFIT remain consistent.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels sticky after washing
Ensure you are using cold water for washing and avoid fabric softeners, which can affect the DriFIT technology. Check that the dryer is on a low setting or air dry.
Reduced moisture-wicking performance
Over time, buildup from detergents or body oils can reduce performance. Try a vinegar rinse (1 cup white vinegar in the wash cycle) to help remove residue, followed by a normal wash without detergent.
Mesh panel feels rough
This is usually temporary and related to the fabric's weave. Washing the shirt according to care instructions should soften the mesh.
