Full details

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the material is quick-drying, they are designed specifically for athletic training and not for use in chlorinated or salt water.
What material are the Nike Academy Shorts made of?
They are constructed from durable, high-performance polyester designed to withstand rigorous training.
How should I wash them?
Machine wash in cold water. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, and tumble dry on low settings.
Are the pockets deep enough for a phone?
The pockets are designed for small essentials like keys or cards; most modern smartphones may be too large for a secure fit.
How does the slim fit compare to regular shorts?
The slim fit is more tapered through the thigh and seat than a standard-cut short, providing a more fitted, performance-oriented feel.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord is stuck or pulled inside the waistband
Use a safety pin to guide the end of the drawcord back through the opening, or gently massage the fabric until the end emerges.
Fabric feels damp after long workouts
Ensure you are not using fabric softeners when washing, as they coat the fibers and prevent proper evaporation.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shorts feature an elasticated waistband with an integrated drawcord, no setup is required beyond adjusting the string to your preferred tension. They are designed to fit true to size for a slim silhouette; if you are between sizes, consider sizing up for more mobility. To maintain the integrity of the Dri-FIT fabric, wash the shorts in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the performance fibers and reduce the moisture-wicking efficiency. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve the longevity of the synthetic polyester material.
