Black Running Shorts

Built for every run

When it's time to clock up some miles, our black running shorts help you make the most of each stride. We design them to suit all stages of your running journey from your first parkrun to your next endurance challenge. Expect a choice of fits and lengths to match your preference and movement style. Meanwhile, a go-with-anything colourway ensures your shorts play nicely with everything else in your selection.

Keep your cool

Smashing your running targets means working up a sweat. To stay fresh and focused for longer, choose black shorts for running with our Dri-FIT technology. It uses moisture-wicking fibres to actively draw away perspiration from your skin. Then they move the moisture to the surface so it can evaporate fast. Plus, breathable properties in the material promote a good airflow around your body. All of this helps you shed excess heat quickly and efficiently—so you can focus on reaching your goals.

Find your fit

Comfort matters as you're pushing your limits. That's why we design our black Nike black running shorts in an assortment of styles. If you like a snug, compressive wear, choose tight fits made from stretch fabrics. They hug close to your body for a second-skin effect. To enjoy a looser shape, look for woven pairs. You can also opt for brief-lined shorts. Their inner layer provides a supportive feel as you power through your chosen distance. When it comes to length, we have short hems for a minimal finish, alongside longer running shorts that provide a little more coverage.

Small details, big difference

Fine margins matter in sport. So when we make our black running shorts, we pay attention to every aspect of the design. Chafe-free seams deliver lasting comfort over long distances. At the waistband, flexible elastic holds everything smoothly and securely in place. You'll also find pairs with zip-up and drop-in pockets so you can have your essentials with you as you train.Look out for our iconic Nike Swoosh that gives each pair its premium finishing touch.

Inspire the next generation

At Nike we've always believed young athletes deserve to hone their skills in top-quality kit. That's why we make our black running shorts for juniors from the same fabrics you'll find in our adults' range. Expect breathable, moisture-wicking fibres that help youngsters keep their cool as they build their stamina, speed and confidence. If they like a tightly fitted style, squatproof materials give them the form-fitting look they want with no-show coverage.
