Yuck. These are made of that crinkly, show every wrinkle, material. Awful. I like the drawstring and that's the only good thing I can say.

I love these shorts. Bought them last year in a local store and happy to find them again. The length is better than many of the other styles - flattering and comfortable. They don't ride up on you when walking. They are lightweight, too. I just wish they would make shorts like these with pockets!

I got these shorts because I was searching for athletic shorts that didn't have that inner underwear layer that I've seen in a lot of shorts lately. These are just one layer, and they are opaque. I am a size 10 ish on bottom and got size L. The M just didn't have enough freedom of movement in the thighs for me. And since there is both elastic in the waist and an inner drawstring, the larger size was still fit in the waist without falling or feeling loose.

Bought Nike Dri-Fit Academy Knit Shorts in Black and love them! I'm a size 14 and the Large fit great. Had a hard time finding shorts that would fit my ample hips and be long enough to cover my thighs and not ride up- these shorts solved all those problems. They're now my go-to shorts.

Love these! Perfect length and I like the light mesh material. I bought the black pair first and they were so comfortable I bought a few more colors. For reference, I'm 5'9", 150 lbs, I got a Medium.

My daughter has these shorts in a smaller size that I purchased last year. Fast forward one year and I could not find them anywhere. Except Zappos! Thankful that you had them and my daughter loves them. Comfy and not too short, which is why she loves them.

Very comfortable and lightweight for when it's hot out. Perfect length if you're looking for shorts that aren't too long and not too short.

I have a Nike Dri Fit Hat, I love to fish in fact I'm a master angler, when it's hot my husband and I pull up and get out at beaches when we're fishing and swim, when we're finished and get back to the truck usually the only thing that is dry is my hat, so I decided to get Dri Fit clothing also, I ordered them on a Monday figuring I would get them in about a week, to my surprise they were delivered the next day! I wore them fishing the next day, when I got back to the truck, my hat and shorts were dry...

I love the Nike brand and decided to buy a pair for my sister. She wears this when she plays soccer and she looks great in them and she loves the comfort and it's just the right amount of length, not too short, not too long either.

Great shorts! I usually wear a size 8-10 in jeans and I bought a large. They fit great. Medium probably would have worked too - but I like when they're a little looser while working out. Fabric is very soft and cool. Overall fantastic shorts. I'll definitely be getting another pair.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
Bought these shorts for vacation to play tennis and they worked out great. Not too short. Fabric is what you would expect, kind of old school. I played so often I ended up hand washing them and they cleaned well and hang dried quickly. The only comment is that as others have noted they do have a rubber stripe, maybe two, on the inside of the waistband. I got used to it quickly, but it may affect your fit as it might ride up a hair as a result. You should definitely try them on before using to make sure this is comfortable for you. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase.

The slip-resistant waistband is a blessing, but a little strange and takes some time to get used to. Overall these are good shorts for the price. They were great for my Grand Canyon hike, which is why they get a 4 star from me. Highly recommend!

Fit nice but washed up just "so so". I purchased same type of shorts in adidas squadron 17 and they were $3 less than the nike and 50% better quality.

The inner elastic waistband of these shorts is not covered by material and thus is not soft. The waistbands in Nike's men's shorts and in earlier versions of women's shorts have a soft layer of fabric covering the inner elastic waistband. Why do they almost always make men's clothing nicer and softer than women's? I am returning these. My plea to Nike is to please make at least one pair of women's shorts comparable to the quality of the men's shorts.
