Nike Standard Issue Men's 12.7cm (approx.) Practice Mesh Basketball Shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are some of my new favorite workout shorts. They are a little thicker than typical older mesh shorts but breathable enough to not get too hot. They feel durable to take the wear and tear of barbell type workouts, playing basketball, running and anything else in any type of weather. I am 5'11" and 165 lbs and the medium size fits perfect. I typically avoid 5" shorts because they feel too short, but these are substantial enough to not feel high on my thigh. I appreciate the pockets on each side, which is not typically part of a basketball short. The pockets are not super deep because of the length of the short so my phone or wallet will sometimes fall out when getting in and out of my car if I'm not careful. The drawstring is thick and sturdy like the rest of the shorts. The navy blue looks good. Overall these are a solid workout short.

How did this apparel item perform? What did you like most? What would you change? These Nike Standard Issue Men's 5" Practice Mesh Basketball Shorts are a great workout option. I got these for my very tall and slender 11 year old son, who we have a hard time finding shorts for that fit in the waist, are long enough, and stay put during workouts. The mesh material is thick enough for coverage, but lightweight to not be restrictive or trap heat. Material is not scratchy or rough as some mesh can be. The design of these shorts is pretty minimalist with small Nike logo and solid mesh pattern. I appreciate this to help with outfit coordinating and my son does not care for large logos or busy patterns. Would purchase these in more colors as available as a great workout or everyday wear option.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who loves basketball shorts as everyday wear and sportswear, these have been a god send. They fit perfectly and feel amazing. I can see myself wearing them on a day off and a hard day at the gym, and of course, when I’m playing sports. Usually, shorts from Nike run a bit larger than what I’m used to, but this time they fit exactly as I expected (5’8 usually wearing small). I recommend this to anyone who needs everyday shorts that they can use for anything on the go.
