Basketball shorts for men: shoot hoops in comfort
Our men's basketball shorts are designed to help you play at your best—whether you're training with your friends or heading to a game. Mesh panels and air vents deliver breathability when the intensity rises. And for maximum comfort, choose lightweight pieces made with our smart Nike Dri-FIT technology. It wicks sweat away from your skin and disperses it across the fabric, so it can dry fast—keeping you cool and fresh for longer. Our shorts are also crafted with plenty of flex, allowing you to move easily as you run and shoot. Meanwhile, notches at the hems and elasticated waists with drawcords accentuate the easy feel.
There's something for every athlete in our range of basketball shorts for men. With a wide range of sizes and fits, you'll find the ideal piece for you. Think bright colours and neutral tones, alongside team-branded options so you can match your favourite player. Plus, each pair of men's basketball shorts features our iconic Nike Swoosh, often in a contrasting colour. Look out for designs with slip pockets in the sides, so you can keep essentials close or your hands warm.
While you've got your eyes on the hoop, we've got ours on the future. That's why we use sustainable materials to craft many pieces in our men's basketball shorts collection. Think recycled nylon and polyester, spun from old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets. It's all part of Nike's Move to Zero initiative, our journey towards zero carbon and zero waste to help protect the future of sport. We're not at our target yet, but we're on our way. To join us, look for styles with the Sustainable Materials tag.
