[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy these shorts. They run true to size, are comfortable, function well in water, and are fashionable. My favorite part about them is how quickly they dry. Within10-15 minutes they were completely dry and I had no problem keeping my car seat dry on the way home. If you're looking for a pair of swim shorts this summer, this is a great option to consider.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these shorts they are very comfortable and soft. I really like that way they look with the large Nike graphics. The material is soft and doesn’t hinder movement. I do wish they would’ve been a bit longer since they sit above the knee. I prefer longer shorts. Other than that I am very happy with them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just brought these to the pool to swim with my son. They're super comfortable and feel great. I also like that they're made with recycled plastic. The tan color is pretty neutral so it's easy to pair with whatever. They fit true to size on me and sit right above my knee. I could do without the words on the side, but that's a small thing. I think the thing that I like the most is the cut and how they look on me. Photo is of me just now before I changed into something dry.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Throwback vibes done right. The heritage Nike graphics are perfectly executed and give these shorts a classic look that stands out. While they have that nostalgic style, the comfort is anything but old-school. Unlike the swim trunks of the '90s, these are lightweight, breathable, and comfortable enough to wear all day or for high impact activity. The fabric moves well with no feeling of restriction providing great mobility. Storage options are another plus. You get three main pockets, along with a small hidden pocket inside the right pocket that's great for keeping smaller items secure. The 7-inch inseam is the perfect length, with a drawstring waistband adding extra security if needed when active. Think I may have found my go-to summer shorts this year. Stylish, comfortable, and functional, highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Light and comfy. Fits true. Plenty of space on the inside. First stick too close to your front when getting out of the water.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These have quickly become a go to for the summer. What I like most is how versatile they are—they work just as well as everyday shorts as they do swim trunks. You can go to the pool, out to lunch, running errands, and even on casual weekend outings without feeling like you’re walking around in obvious swimwear. The design stands out from a lot of other swim shorts on the market. They have a clean, modern look that feels more elevated than your typical board shorts, making them easy to pair with a t-shirt or polo when you’re not in the water. The 7” length is a great balance—not too short and not too long. The throwback design is also a unique plus that adds some personality to any outfit. The material is lightweight, soft, and comfortable, with enough structure that they don’t cling or feel flimsy after getting wet. The fully lined interior adds comfort without being restrictive. I also appreciate the adjustable drawstring waistband, which makes it easy to get the fit exactly right whether you’re swimming, walking, or just relaxing. If you’re looking for a pair of shorts that can seamlessly transition from the beach or pool to everyday wear, these are a great option. They look good, feel comfortable, and eliminate the need to pack a separate pair of shorts for after swimming.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fit and feel of these shorts are really nice. The waistband is stretchy and comfortable to wear, even after hours of wearing it. Being a bigger guy myself, I was shocked at how well these fit in my regular size. If you have larger thighs, I’d suggest to size up though. These shorts are super good for all around wear, whether it’s the beach, training, or just lounging, they’re great shorts for many occasions, and even stylish too. The only thing I would change is maybe the thigh opening to be a bit larger, but it’s a great pair of shorts. The fabric is nice and comfortable to wear for all kinds of occasions and weather, aside from the cold of course.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got these for my teenage son for summer sports/camp. We’ve had them about a month and so far so good. Nice lightweight like the lining like the pockets. He hasn’t really had a chance to fully test yet, but he tried them on and said “yeah these are good” so that’s pretty high praise from a teenager. They are a true black.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that these shorts can be worn in the water, but don’t look out of place for casual wear either. The lining is actually sewn in on the entire interior of the shorts versus those flimsy liners in some other shorts that act like poorly fitting underwear. The length is good too, hitting just above the knee, and I like the two side pockets and Velcro back pocket, though I wish the side pockets were just a bit deeper.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been loving the Nike Swim Breaker Men's 7" Fully Lined Volley Short. I have them in the University Red color which is a really nice shade of red. I appreciate that they are lined and feel super lightweight for summer days both swimming and wearing casually. They are especially comfortable around the waistband which is an important factor for me. These shorts have an overall nice fit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These swim shorts are durable for both casualwear on the beach and for swimming. Although I am not the biggest fan of the recycled material when doing the former (it's like canvas material), they are great for the latter as they dry fast and have the protective netting typical of other swim trunks. Fit-wise, they are a little baggy (as designed), but length-wise are pretty much perfect, sitting right above the knees. They come with the standard drawstring, 2 side pockets, and a velcro secured back pocket. The 2 side pockets are not really deep and might not secure your items if running. As for the design itself, I can see the inspiration from the retro red Nike shoe boxes. Personally, the red is a little bright, so I'd probably prefer a more neutral color.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a rock solid pair of swim shorts/trunks. It has a very classic silhouette -- not super form-fitting, pretty baggy, good length, and just comfortable. I like the design to on the left-hand side, with the cut-off swoosh logo and the good secondary logos and text in white. Quality is good too -- stitching and everything is great. This should stand up against the test of time and a lot of use. Waistband is quite elastic and the drawstring is high quality. I also appreciate the back pocket with velcro lock. The one thing that's peculiar is the inside of the shorts... the entire inner side of the shorts is lined in mesh, but there's no underwear-type liner that other swim trunks have. In other words, it's just like a normal pair of athletic shorts pretty much. This scares me because when you go in/out of the water and air gets trapped, your private parts can get exposed is the leg rides up... there is usually a panty-type liner that kind of holds everything and makes sure they're not exposed. This is especially concerning do to the classic, relaxed fit of this. Might not be an issue, but something to consider!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A top of drawer staple good for a dip or for a beach day. Dries pretty quick after getting wet. A good choice for hitting the water park and going on coasters after. The shorts sit nicely on the hip while the length hits just above the knee.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are just really easy, go-to swim or beach shorts. The fit is relaxed without feeling baggy, and the 7" length hits at a nice, comfortable spot - not too long, not too short. They feel great on, especially with the full lining, which adds support without being annoying or restrictive. The design is clean and laid-back, perfect for the beach or just hanging out, and the fabric is lightweight, dries quickly, and holds up well after getting in and out of the water. What I liked most is how versatile and comfortable they are. I wore them all day without thinking twice. Overall these are a really solid pair of swim shorts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the fabric of these shorts and so impressed that they are made with recycled materials. They are comfortable and breathable and great for watersports and swimming. I like the cool nike detailsijgnon the left leg. Its cool and not overly flashy. These are definitely mens shorts. I sometimes like longer shorts and thought they would be great but are a big long for me and mid-rise. I prefer high rise and a little shorter shorts with a little more room in the bum. I think they are great shorts for men and women with long legs and not a lot of hips. You can never have too many nike shorts and love the quality that they last for a long time. Highly recommend
