Essentials Basketball Ink Shorts

Ink is a deep blue-black, which reads as a neutral while giving more than a flat black does. The Basketball pieces take court proportions and put them through the Essentials filter, so they sit longer and looser than the standard cut. Heavyweight fleece cut short rather than lightweight training shorts, so they hang properly instead of riding up. Stitching runs clean throughout and the fabric holds its shape rather than going limp after a season.

Fit. Relaxed through the thigh with an elasticated drawcord waist, finishing around the knee. More forgiving than the tops, since the drawcord absorbs a fair range within each size.

Styling. Clean trainers and a plain tee is all these need.

Care. Cold wash inside out at 30 degrees, gentle cycle, no softener. Air dry. Heat shrinks fleece through the leg and lifts the logo at the edges.
