Men's Running Shorts

Whether you're pounding the pavements, hitting the trails or lapping the park, our men's running shorts help you push your limits with every stride. Nike fabrics are built to move when you do, so they hold their shape as you run. Meanwhile, high-performance materials wick away sweat and keep you cool, no matter how hard you train. Expect designs with minimal seams that reduce irritation, so you stay clear and focused. Plus, adjustable cords give you a secure, supportive and flexible fit.

Keep cool with high-performance materials

Whatever the challenge, Nike men's running shorts help you stay cool and fresh, so you can smash your goals. Lightweight, breathable fabrics allow you to move, stretch and stride freely. Look out for our innovative Dri-FIT technology, which moves sweat away from your skin and disperses it across the surface, so it can dry quickly. We've also added ventilation panels in key areas that provide extra cooling—exactly where you need it.

Practical details to hit the ground running

Our jogging shorts for men combine practicality with pro construction. So, you'll find handy pockets in many of our styles to help you keep your essentials close. Side splits at the hems give you the freedom to lengthen your stride, while inner drawstrings ensure that nothing's dangling in your way. For extra visibility in low light, choose running shorts for men with reflective design elements.

Showcase your personal style

Our running shorts for men are designed to look as good as they feel. Choose bold primary colours for standout appeal, or pick shorts in monochromatic shades for classic styling. Block colours keep things clean-cut while striking prints add maximum impact. Each pair of our shorts is branded with our iconic Nike Swoosh for a premium aesthetic. Look out for branded waistbands, too, for an extra pop of detail. Searching for your perfect fit? Relaxed silhouettes are ideal for layering over leggings, while skin-tight options give you a sleek look.

Men's running shorts for indoors and out

Our jogging shorts for men are designed for all environments. This means you can perform at your best wherever you're training. Longer lengths offer extra protection when you're going off-trail, while breathable materials ensure you stay cool and fresh in the heat. Our 2-in-1 running shorts feature stretchy outer fabric and an internal liner for unbeatable movement and support. Meanwhile, compression shorts increase blood flow to your muscles as you run, helping you move more easily and recover faster.

Protecting our planet

At Nike, we're committed to winning the race against climate change. That's why we craft our men's running shorts with recycled materials, wherever possible. Take our recycled polyester, for example. It's responsible for diverting one billion plastic bottles a year from landfills and waterways, which we clean, shred and spin into this durable yarn. It's all part of Nike's Move to Zero programme—our mission to reach net-zero carbon emissions and net-zero waste. To join us on the journey, choose options with the Sustainable Materials tag.
