Nike Sportswear

When I first received and opened my package in the mail, I was elated about the beautiful color and fabric! Silky navy blue with black lace trim - stunning. I admired the quality of the fabric, especially the extra mesh layer inside. However, the fit of these shorts was very odd. The waist fit wonderfully and was very comfortable but the hips and leg holes were far too wide, almost turning the look of the shorts into a tennis skirt. Comfort is super important to me, especially when it comes to sport/leisure wear. While the shorts looked and felt great, unfortunately, these shorts just weren’t a good fit for my slim physique and I didn’t feel comfortable wearing them during heavy activities.

I am a 32 year old mother of two who trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with my children, so function is important to me as is fashion (I’m the cool mom) in class. These shorts are comfortable, stylish and functional for a cool summer. I’ve trained for a Jiu Jitsu competition so I have lost some weight and these still fit very well, although they do have belt loops so if you need a tighter fit that is an option. One thing I felt was an issue is they do fit loose around your thighs so try them on, squat and move around before leaving your house to determine what your outfit with them will be. The material washes well, I accidentally over sprayed some mosquito spray onto the shorts and they stained. I was concerned it would be permanent, but one quick wash and the stains came right out.

These retro inspired shorts fit great and offer comfort and style. Perfect with a tshirt or tank, you can dress these up for down for extra versatility. The dark navy color and contrast black stripe add to the style.
