#teamnikePerfect running shorts!
pamelalibrarian - Oct 06, 2024
Perfect for long running! The pockets are amazing! I can hold 3 gels in each pocket. Then there is room for one in the back pocket too! You can also put a phone there if you want. The only issue is with the material. The softness makes the shorts very comfortable, but the inner thigh rubs the material down a bit. If you run super long, like I do, over time that material may wear thin and tear a small hole. At least it did for me. Otherwise, if you don't marathon train, then you're probably fine. I'll probably buy another pair when I'm back to running shorter races.

Feel the Sensation of Smoothness
Stretch, reach, and rely on durable softness that you’ll want to throw on day after day in the Nike Universa Leggings.

Smoothing Out Your Work/Life Balance
Versatile is the name of the game in the Universa, and InfinaSmooth fabric is always ready to play. The incredible smoothing and lifting qualities become clear upon first wear (and second, and third…), while the stretch does everything but stifle your movement.

Comfort Holds You In
Move with confidence thanks to a smoothing extra-wide engineered waistband. Rolling, pinching, and sliding are things of the past as the Universa provides you with comfort that you can take into the future. Oh, did we mention that these have pockets? 😉

Leggings for Every Way You Move
Nike Leggings have got you covered with leggings that are made for your maximum efforts, rest days and everything in between. Whether you’re looking for cloud-like softness or compression without the squeeze, there’s a feel for every you in the Go, Zenvy and Universa Leggings.
