My son loves them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son does not want to take these shorts off. They are the perfect length for him and so comfortable. I wondered how they would do in the washer/dryer, but they came out looking the same.

Nike Dri-FIT Elite Kids' Basketball Shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s that time of the year where the cold weather starts, which means no shorts to the gym. However I usually keep them in my rotation when I’m working out at home. I usually wear a large in big boys which fits comfortably. However the Nike Dri-Fit elite shorts runs small and is tight around my thighs and waist. I have a love/hate relationship with the Dri-Fit design/fabric. On one hand I love dri-fit because it means minimal to no sweat stains after an intense workout but on the other hand the material feels cheaply made and not very durable. Additionally the pants has no stretch which makes it very uncomfortable when squatting. I know it’s a basketball shorts and I even tried playing basketball with my son in it. Due to the fact it had no stretch after a few minutes it left red marks on my thighs. The one thing I definitely would change if I had the opportunity , is to incorporate a fabric that has a more stretch and flexibility into the dri-fit design.

Pretty nice pair of shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like these shirts for my son. They fit well, they are breathable, durable, and does the job for regularly activity or for sports practice. The only suggestion I have to go make them with a tad bit thicker material. Otherwise, we’d purchase and wear regularly.

Nike Basketball Short

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are super comfy and the perfect length. I am a petite adult although these shorts are made for children. Enough room to move in but not too baggy. I enjoy the adjustable draw string. I probably wouldn’t work out in them personally but will wear them for athleisure.

Good Shorts for Kids

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these shorts for my son. He’s very active as kids are and these have held up great. Lots of playground and outdoor time for him and these kept him nice and cool.

Perfect Length Basketball Shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These basketball shorts are super comfy, comes with pockets and a drawstring, and is the perfect length to hit right above the knees to keep my legs from burning on a hot car seat. The Dri-Fit material is a bonus.

Good shorts for kids

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This review is for my son. The Nike Dri-FIT Elite Kids' Basketball Shorts are definatly worth it to buy for your child. My son loves to wear shorts even on cold days. Since the time I asked him to try these on hes never removed them and says this is the most comfortable to wear. My son is 10 and got size medium for him . The length is good coz he likes just above the knee. He likes the color and might get other colors since he said he'll use it for school too. These are my sons go to shorts! I just received these shorts so can't say enough about how durable it is. Will update my review after a few months.

Great shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great shorts! They fit great and are super comfy. Exactly what you need from basketball shorts. Super light material. Love the pockets. I love the design, classic basketball shorts. Not crazy flashy, but enough to make them interesting. Again just one of my favorite short designs. My favorite thing is probably that my kid likes wearing them, no fighting him to get them on and out of the house.

Comfortable and Great Quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loves these shorts. He often asks me to wash them at night while he’s sleeping so he can wear them again the next day! I’ve been impressed with the quality, they have been washing well and have lived up to his active outdoor play times! He’s 6 and wears a 6-7. We got 8s so make sure they fit him for a while and they are perfect. He says they’re the most comfortable shorts he has!

Kid’s basketball shorts my Son Loves

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a review for my son. He loves this shorts. The fit is just right he says. The material is very light without that very budget feeling. The stitches are double on the waistband which adds durability. He likes the colors and he wears it to his soccer games even though it’s a basketball short. The swoosh is embroidered which is great and won’t wear off when washed multiple times. My son says the length is perfect, right above the knee. He says the material is soft around the legs and beefy around the waist. It won’t fall off or get stretched out. He wears a size medium, 4feet 3 inches tall and weighs about 60 lbs. for reference. If you have kids that need a durable, goes with everything, comfortable pair of shorts for sports this is the one. I definitely recommend them to his team and will recommend it with others.

Too Big in the Waist

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these shorts for my son, he is very tall and slender. The shorts fit great lengthwise, but they are quite big in the waist. They do have a tie, thankfully, so that we were able to cinch them up quite a bit. My son loved how the felt and said they were very comfortable and easy to move around in. The material seems very sturdy, like they'll hold up to the roughness of 6 year old!

Perfect Kid Basketball Shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loves these shorts. He was very excited to put them on when he saw them. They run a little big but I am ok with that. There is a very sturdy draw string that keeps them in place. He should be able to get at least two seasons of wear out of them. That is a great benefit. The fabric is a nice weight. It does feel cheap or thin and is very breathable. There are functional pockets and a little hook in the back. These little touches are very convenient and add to the quality and value of these shorts. I really love the thickness and heavy stitching on these shorts. They seem very durable. That is important for me because my child is very active.
