Go that extra mile

With a pair of mens athletic shorts, you can run that extra mile thanks to their clever design. On warm days, choose ventilated shorts if you require a quick-dry fabric like Climacool. For slim fit shorts, consider short tights that provide a compression fit for a secure feel and are anti-odour, as well as offering UV protection. Or you can go for the two-in-one shorts that are fitted with inner briefs to give you extra support. Whatever you’re doing, you can be sure you’re well equipped with adidas mens running shorts.

Trailing ahead

If you’re facing the elements and different terrain on your runs, you’ll need to look for mens trail running shorts. When the heavens open, Climalite technology will actively repel the water from your shorts so you won’t be weighed down. Featuring lightweight, synthetic fabric, you’ll reduce overheating on your runs and be grateful for their quick-drying properties. Offering reflective details to help you be seen in low-light conditions, you may also want to get shorts with built-in sweat-guard zip pockets, so you can securely store valuables while you run. A regular fit and high-rise waist with drawcord will also contribute to overall comfort.

Mens Running Shorts Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best length for men’s running shorts?

The best length for men’s running shorts depends on your preference. The inseam length on running shorts generally ranges from about three to nine inches. An inseam of five inches or less allows for freedom of movement and airflow but provides less coverage from the sun. Seven- to nine-inch shorts give more coverage but might chafe the skin or feel restrictive, especially on longer runs. A popular choice is five-inch shorts, which offer mobility and airflow with comfortable coverage.

Should running shorts be tight or loose?

Men’s running shorts can be tight or loose, depending on your needs. Loose running shorts are ideal for runners who want a breezier feel and don’t need muscle compression. Tight running shorts that fit right help avoid chafing. They have a second-skin feel, allowing free movement while supporting muscles. Two-in-one shorts offer both options: tight-fitting inner shorts plus loose-fitting outer shorts. The inner shorts should fit snugly, and the outer shorts should be loose enough so you can move freely.

Why do men’s running shorts have liners?

Men’s running shorts have liners to offer support and help avoid chafing. Liners also can take the place of underwear. They’re more breathable and lightweight than typical underwear, helping to circulate air and avoid chafing from sweat build-up. Longer liners can be boxer or brief length and provide compression support for muscles. They also keep your muscles warmer on runs when the weather's cool.
