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

Wish I could give a 5

Love the look of the shorts. My only issue as with a lot of Nike products. They don’t love us guys that are bigger in the thigh and butt area. The fit on the inner lining just isn’t as snug as it should be. I’m having to adjust the lining from the top all the time while working out.

Need help finding shoes

Does anybody know the shoes the model has on with the green / Hasta shorts? I have tried searching and can’t find them. It would be awesome if Nike could start linking the other items in the pictures to complete the outfit. Many thanks to whoever can help!

Horrible Seam/Stitching Placement

Here is the bottom line. Literally. Despite all of the positives these shorts have (as described in many of the reviews), they have one resounding negative: The stitching for these shorts is on the inside AND directly up the middle in the back. Sooooooo... yeah... it's directly up the butt of the runner. For long runs, this is an unforgivable placement. In the older model of this was not the case. Not sure why the designers made this decision.

Great running short - zipper durability issues

Ordered the iron-grey and black color of these shorts and have worn both regularly for the last 6 weeks. Unfortunately, the zipper busted out on the grey pair while on a long run which makes me question the integrity of the zipper on the other pair. Great running short outside of the zipper issue. Hoping the other pair hold up better.

Amazing fit & comfort! Durability...not so much :/

These shorts are extremely comfortable. The built-in liner feels fantastic. Unfortunately the stitching around the pocket started to unravel after only 3 wears. I was planning on getting a couple more pairs, but I'm not sure I can justify the cost for the durability.
