Product Insights
The Nike Dri-Fit Perforated Running Short is a high-performance speed-workout essential that prioritizes chafe prevention with its microfibre Dri-FIT liner and 3-inch inseam, but its light mesh fabric can become slightly sheer when stretched, and while inner pockets hold a phone and keys with minimal bounce, larger phones may shift.
Verified claims
- Moisture wicking
- Microfibre Dri-FIT liner wicks sweat and minimizes chafe.
- Fit
- 3-inch inseam liner sits high on thigh to prevent chafe without bunching
- Pocket bounce
- Buyers report minimal bounce during runs with a smartphone and keys in the inner pockets, though larger phones may shift.
- Sheerness
- Slightly sheer when stretched tightly; brief liner does not mask.
- Drawstring security
- Drawstring stays tied during activity and is long enough to knot securely.
- Inseam
- 3-inch inseam is shorter than Nike's 5-inch standard and true to size.
- Use case
- Ideal for speed workouts and warm-weather runs due to minimal fabric and high-cut liner.
- Moisture management
- Built-in liner uses Dri-FIT fabric for sweat wicking.
- Pockets
- Two inner pockets hold a phone and keys with minimal bounce.
- Sheer
- Light mesh fabric can become slightly sheer when stretched.
