[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These ran slightly bigger than I anticipated. I’m typically a medium in fitted bottoms as small is too tight around the waist, but I probably could have done a small. The medium’s are still fine.

How This Was Made
- The recycled polyester used in Nike products begins as recycled plastic bottles, which are cleaned, shredded into flakes and converted into pellets. From there, the pellets are spun into new, high-quality yarn used in our products, delivering peak performance with a lower impact on the environment.
- In addition to reducing waste, recycled polyester produces up to 30% lower carbon emissions than virgin polyester. Nike diverts an average of 1 billion plastic bottles annually from landfill and waterways.

#productsprovidedbynikeALMOST good. How about a redo?
HollyH283250611 - 30 Sept 2025
I’ve put several miles in these so this is a fair review. What I liked: 1) they’re not insanely high waisted, a hard thing to find these days; 2) pockets are great, and 3) material feels nice. What I did NOT enjoy: the pant legs don’t stay put. Maybe if I had beefy running legs they would stay put, or if I had less of a gut and could fit in an XS (I’m 127lb and 5’ 5”). Will be returning.
Doesn’t prevent chafing
AlexaA844545065 - 12 Sept 2025
I have thick thighs and have bought 1 pair of running shorts that were perfect. I think Nike discontinued them so I searched for their next best option. Given that these are running shorts and longer length I assumed they’d be perfect I was wrong. They roll up so much the chafing was instantly. Ima medium in all my Nike bottoms and they fit well all around so I think it’s certainly the material that needs fixing. These are NOT good running shorts. Even with the phone in the pocket nothing kept these down. Very unfortunate.
