• Nike Unlimited Dri-FIT 7" Shorts

  Richard - Dec 01, 2023

  From the moment I tried on these 7" Nike shorts they surprised me with their comfort and feel, the material is lightweight with more than enough stretch to accommodate my running stride. Whilst out running my thighs generally rub together causing irritation so the lack of an inner lining was initially concerning, yet due to the length of the shorts and the quality of the material used my legs were sufficiently protected, even during a vigorous 9-mile session on the track. After that particular track session the shorts were holding a slight amount of moisture but were not uncomfortable or gathering up by any means. The lack of inner lining also resulted in more airflow and created a cooler more breathable running experience. The fabric feels high quality with a secure fit, no loose threads or seams; I experienced no friction rubbing above the knees or on the lower back by the waistband, even with car keys in the back pocket. There are three pockets in total, two front and one back zipped pocket. They are securely made using lightweight, very finely perforated net material, the front pockets are deep enough for daily use although I would be worried about losing items if running above a steady pace. Thankfully the zipped back pocket keeps valuables such as car keys or even a phone safe. Due to the lightweight nature of the shorts, items like keys bounce around in the pockets and if you were to carry a few heavier items the shorts would be pulled downwards so you have to make sure the drawcord is securely tied. The drawcord is a sturdy material without feeling bulky, being able to switch and tie it on the inside of the shorts was a nice feature which I took advantage of. The waistband feels snug and as mentioned previously causes no irritation due to the material used and the lightweight nature of the shorts. The style and length of the shorts was impressive and modern; I not only felt comfortable walking around town and taking my Labrador puppy out for walks but also found the pockets sufficient enough for my needs, making this a truly versatile pair of shorts. From a running perspective it would have been nice to see some internal or external pockets to safely secure a few gels; even two elasticated bands could hold a gel quite nicely to the outside of the waistband which would mean you wouldn't have to mess with the shorts once they were tied and could easily pull a gel when needed. The location of the zipped pocket at the back does mean that in order to sit-down you do have to remove items from the back pocket. The shorts themselves could be made with perforated sections to increase the breathability, which would in turn reduce the weight even further, although I'm not sure how this would affect the structure. Finally, some more appreciation to the Nike logo would have been nice to see, as a black logo on black shorts whilst understated does make it hardly noticeable. Overall, I find these to be a great pair of stylish Nike shorts, not only for use on the track and the roads but also in everyday life. The lightweight approach whilst maintaining a sturdy yet stylish construct really makes these shorts a winner.

  Not a good fit. I have big quads. Too tight on the butt, crotch too high. Probably great if you are skinny.

  My boyfriend likes this pair of shorts because it is very comfortable, light weight and versatile. The length is good and the fit is flattering. He uses it as gym shorts. He also wears it when going out to do some daily errands. He is happy that he wore this shorts during our recent trip. It is really breatable and it helps that it is dry fit.
