Shorts fit great. The lining is so comfortable, the material is perfect. The back pocket actually can fit a modern smartphone! But the drawstrings. So bad. Hilariously too long. Tie into knots that are difficult to untie. Needs a major change in length, material and thickness to make it easier to tie and untie. Still recommended bc the pros outweigh the cons.

Less Sweat, Better Cool
Nike Dri-FIT technology moves sweat away from your skin for quicker evaporation, helping you stay dry and comfortable. We've added breathable fabric at the upper back to help keep you cool.
A Stride to Strive For
The Stride shorts are built to move. We made them with a shallower rise, so you can run fast without anything getting in the way. A full-length liner provides extra coverage and support, plus the narrow waistband has a drawcord that can be worn internally or externally for adjustable support.
Secure Storage
Side pockets help keep items like a key or card close. A zip back pocket is large enough to hold a phone. It has an internal moisture barrier to help keep your gear dry.

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.

Great shorts just really bad drawstrings
yank267 - 18 Jul 2025
iPhone doesn’t fit in back pocket
Justin4d60174475d2474e872cb98e83b1d8fd - 23 Jul 2025
iPhone doesn’t fit in the back pocket. It’s 2025 and Nike makes a back pocket exactly small enough that an iPhone won’t fit. For that, 1 star.
May as well have no pockets
nathanielh649340538 - 05 Mar 2025
Pockets are completely unusable. May as well not have them. The pockets are super shallow and items in pocket constantly fall out.
