Boys' Black Shorts

Shorts made for every session

Our boys' black shorts are made for the way young athletes move. From football practice to PE and everyday play, each pair is designed to feel comfortable from the first sprint to the last stretch. Choose lightweight woven shorts for fast movement. We've also got soft knit pairs, along with French terry styles that give a relaxed look with added warmth. You'll find options for younger and older kids, so it's simple to get a pair that fits their sport and their pace.

Sweat-wicking when the effort level rises

When training gets intense, comfort matters. That's why we've got boys' black shorts with Nike Dri-FIT technology. This innovative technology helps wick sweat away from the skin for faster evaporation, so kids can stay dry and focused during drills, runs and games. Flexible fabrics move with them as they bend, jump and change direction. Meanwhile, adjustable drawstrings allow the fit to stay secure without feeling tight. Keep it classic with standard-fit shorts or discover streamlined silhouettes that support speedy sprints. If he likes to feel laid-back, pick a loose pair.

Ready for football, training and team sport

Our black shorts for boys are ready for every kind of session. Basketball shorts give extra room through the legs, so future stars of the court can pivot and land with confidence. We've also got training shorts that keep things light for gym work, running and warm-ups. Look out for styles featuring mesh panels and breathable materials that let air flow when the pace picks up. Others add pockets or cargo details, giving kids space for small essentials on the go.

Comfort for every part of his day

Not every movement happens on the pitch. We've got black shorts for boys made for after-practice downtime and weekend plans, too. French terry is soft and smooth against the skin. You'll also find Tech Fleece pairs that are cosy inside and out—it means he gets all of the warmth with none of the bulk. When it is time to play, he can pick from shorts from some of the world's biggest football clubs that let him feel just like his idols.

Find their best fit

Different days call for different lengths and fits. Above-knee and mid-thigh shorts help his strides stay unrestricted. Longer styles add extra coverage for sport and daily wear, as well as being ideal for layering over tights for extra cosiness. Does he prefer a lighter feel? Go for black school shorts for boys that are easy and airy. Adjustable waistbands will keep his shorts comfortable and in place. Plus, look out for options with our iconic Swoosh on the cuff—his gear will be the envy of the playground.
