Running Shorts

Whether you're on the treadmill, the track or the open road, our running shorts support your every move. Nike shorts for running feature breathable fabrics that give you the power to go the distance and offer comfort from the first stride to your last. We've got running shorts in head-turning shades that get you noticed on the road, along with classic shorts for running you'll reach for again and again. Whether you're tackling tricky terrains or mastering your sprint, Nike running shorts are designed to boost your performance.

Fit for the distance

Breathable fabrics let you tackle any distance and keep you comfortable from the first stride to your last. Looking for your perfect fit? We have running short fits for every runner. Think extra-short cuts in loose silhouettes that offer maximum freedom. Meanwhile, shorts for running in longer styles hug your legs for added coverage and protection. Plus, our running shorts made with InfinaLock technology create a compressive and supportive feel. Whichever pair you pick, you'll notice our iconic Nike Swoosh across the range—a mark of our premium quality.

Cutting-edge technology for reliability

Innovative technology sets Nike running shorts apart from the rest. Take Nike AeroSwift technology, for example. It blends cutting-edge features and materials with a precise fit—delivering mobility and lightweight comfort as you clock up the kilometres. When the temperature rises, look for running shorts made with Nike Dri-FIT technology. This high-performance fabric wicks sweat away from your skin and disperses it across the surface, helping you stay dry and fresh for longer.

Support and breathability when you need it

Need extra support on your next jog? We've got running shorts crafted from super-stretchy, compressive fabric that improves circulation. This means your muscles can flex further and recover faster. Or if you're looking for that barely-there feel, try a pair of Nike running shorts made from feather-light materials. Plus, breathable mesh panels make sure you get ventilation where you need it most. Our woven fabric is durable enough to go the distance while remaining lightweight, so you'll feel free on the road.

We sweat the small things for you

At Nike, we know details matter. That's why you'll find running shorts with practical pockets on the sides and back, perfect for stashing your essentials on long runs. For a secure feel, pick a high-waisted silhouette that looks compact and streamlined. We've also got mid-rise options for an easy, relaxed vibe. No matter which cut you choose, expect stretchy waistbands that flex with you to keep you comfortable until you cross the finish line. Plus, adjustable drawstrings let you fine-tune the fit. Looking for a little more coverage? Pairs with an inner lining provide an extra layer, so you can stay focused without distractions.
