Knee-Length Shorts

Our knee-length shorts set you free to fly through your training routine in comfort. We make them from top-spec materials that help you stay cool, fresh and collected for longer. Meanwhile, our choice of fits and silhouettes ensures you can find your perfect match. Choose from a palette of colourways from soft and muted to bright and bold, and look out for our Nike Swoosh for that iconic finishing touch.

Stay cool and focused

For sportswear that's made to go the distance with you, choose knee-length shorts with our Dri-FIT technology. Our engineered fibres actively wick away sweat from your skin. Then, they draw the moisture to the surface of the garment, so it can evaporate quickly. Meanwhile, breathable properties in the fabric allow air to flow around your body. Keep an eye out for designs with mesh panels in high-heat areas. All of this helps you shed excess heat quickly and efficiently. That means you can concentrate on smashing your goals.

Find your fit

Because every athlete and every discipline is different, we make our knee-length shorts in a choice of styles to suit your needs. For a compressive feel that lets you clearly see your form and lines, browse our slim-fitting pairs. They're made with four-way stretch, so your shorts move with you and maintain their shape. Looking for a looser silhouette? We have knee-length shorts in football and basketball cuts. Look for comfy elasticated waistbands for easy movement, plus secure drawcord ties to hold everything in place.

Small details, big difference

We understand that fine margins matter in sport. So, when we design our knee-length shorts, we pay attention to the little things. Expect squat-proof fabrics for confidence throughout every stride and stretch, and no-roll waistbands that stay securely in place. Meanwhile, zip-up pockets make it easy to keep your essentials with you as you train. For ultimate freedom of movement, go for a pair with side-split hems that set you free to reach, turn and pivot in any direction. You'll also find designs with supportive mesh liners built in. They provide extra comfort during high-impact sessions.

Kick back in comfort

When it's time to relax and catch your breath, we have knee-length shorts made for rest days. We make them from cosy brushed-back fabrics, so you can expect a plush and gentle feel against your skin. You'll also find elastic waistbands for comfy, flexible wear, and practical pockets to keep your essentials close at hand. Need to layer up after a tough training session? Look for knee-length shorts in slouchy styles that are easy to throw on over your kit.

Move to Zero

Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards zero carbon and zero waste to help protect the future of sport. To join us, choose knee-length shorts with the Sustainable Materials tag. It means we've made the apparel with at least 50% recycled content. Think durable polyester spun from old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets diverted from landfill.
