Bought these to replace the Flex Stride shorts which were fantastic. However, the fit feels weird - I actually had to put them on back-to-front to check that I hadn't put them on back-to-front. The elasticated waist is far too loose and for some reason the drawstring has been threaded in such a way that it's impossible to tighten them - had to re-thread it myself so it now works. Furthermore, where the Flex Stride had a zip pocket on the back, these have a velcro fastening one which is too small for the size of the pocket meaning that anything you put in there falls out the very moment you start running. If I could be bothered, I'd send them back - as it is I've decided to use them to sleep in. When Nike get it right, they really get it right - but when they don't, it's terrible (see also every Liverpool FC kit they've made).

These shorts appear to be sleek and stylish and the fabric feels durable and high quality. As someone who prioritizes comfort while working out, I was pleased to find that they felt soft and pleasant against my skin. The sizing seemed accurate, (I typically wear a large), but the length was a bit shorter than I prefer. The shorts are made with an inner lining that creates a snug fit around the legs that reminded me of swim trunks. I think this tight fit could work for certain exercises. Unfortunately the waist band is somewhat loose and it caused them to ride down frequently in the back when I moved around. This was a significant drawback that limited my ability to perform certain activities comfortably and without distraction. Overall, while these shorts are visually appealing and offer a pleasant feel. The tightness around the legs and tendency to ride down detract from their overall usefulness for certain activities.

Great pair of athletic shorts. The inner liner works great for biking, basketball, and weightlifting - keeps everything in place without binding or bunching. Material feels good - lightweight but robust and durable - and the shorts are a good length and width. Overall a really versatile, comfortable short.
