These Nike Stride shorts seriously impressed me. I’ve been on the hunt for running shorts that actually feel good on longer runs, and these check every box. Super lightweight, super breathable, and—most importantly for me—NO CHAFING. As someone who’s struggled with that in the past, this is a game-changer. They feel smooth, the liner is comfortable (not tight or scratchy), and the fit is just right—even in XXL. I also love that there’s a zip pocket in the back for my phone, and it doesn’t bounce around. I have an iPhone 14 and it fits in there comfortably, no problem. Honestly, the shorts kind of disappear once you start running, which is exactly what I want from a good pair of shorts. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something comfortable, functional, and actually built for runners.

Less Sweat, Better Cool
Nike Dri-FIT technology moves sweat away from your skin for quicker evaporation, helping you stay dry and comfortable. We 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 any give. An ergonomic brief liner feels soft and supportive, and 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 zippered 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 reduces carbon emissions by up to 30% compared to virgin polyester. Nike diverts an average of 1 billion plastic bottles annually from landfills and waterways.

#teamnikeMen’s Stride Shorts
CruzinP - Aug 01, 2025
If you are looking for a nice and light shorts to go on your normal runs, the Stride shorts are for you! The material on these shorts is awesome, light as a feather! With the dri-fit material, I did not worry about sweating as the shorts were quickly to dry and kept the shorts comfortable. I was unsure how my smartphone (iPhone 14) would fit in the pockets and was surprised with the room the pockets had even with my smartphone. And if your not a big fan of your smartphone in your front pockets, no worries as their is a zipper pocket in the back as well. The waistband is thinner and narrower than what I'm use to, but helps again with the lightness of the shorts. The drawcord is a nice touch to secure the shorts as I prefer. For sizing, I can wear either L or XL and with the shorts being standard size I decided to go with size XL. As the shorts primary use is for running and overall material with shorts, I was happy to go with size XL. If you are in the middle of sizes, I recommend going up to the size. For reference I am 5' 10" and 205 lbs.
