Very nice

Finally my husband approved a new sport short! He has used the same pair of running shorts for the last 10 years and every time I bought a new pair for him, he would ask me to returned them right away. We are both very happy with this purchase. My husband says they are very comfortable.

Not durable at all (rip/tearing at pocket and inseem)

Shorts fit ok and are comfortable on long runs (pockets could be a little deeper for phone) - my main complaint is that the pocket where the inseam starts ripped and now there is a hole there after 4 months of use. I previously had a pair like this that lasted at least 2 years before i bought this replacement pair. I went to go submit a claim but since i bought them at a store and dont have the tag I cant submit a claim through nike

All Rounder

These shorts are great! My advice is don't follow the sizing guide. Im a size 34 waist and the large fits perfect. Im 5'11 and the length goes an inch above my knees. Great for weight lifting/running/athleisure wear.

Form fitting

I wear a size large and i must say these shorts are a bit more form fitting than what i was expecting I hope that these shorts will be able to last a while one of the aesthetic things that i find slightly undesirable about these shorts is the pocket stitching which you can see in some of the photos on the website also i'd like to add that the pockets are very small, so if you have a larger format phone - yes it fits but it potentially could pop out
