Swift High Waisted Running Shorts

Size medium does not fit like and 8-10 these fit more like a 4. Sizing way off. Shorts ride up too much making it uncomfortable to wear.

Let’s start with the positive; The material is great. As advertised, it is fitted but not too fitted. The waist is just high enough and has a drawstring that assures me that these sagging is not going to be an issue with these shorts. The water bottle that I carry during long races fits into the side pockets. The negatives: without even going for a test run, I can tell that these shorts are going to ride up. I don’t think that it’s simply the 4 inch length, either. These are women’s running shorts. Whomever designed these did not account for the fact that women are not simply smaller men. When we run, we develop muscles in our legs and our shorts need to have enough room to fit those muscles! I am talking quads and hamstrings here. And yes, we come in all shapes and sizes. I am 5’4 and 119 lbs. I am not super skinny, but I am fairly lean and have developed muscles with years of training. The bottom of these shorts hit right in the middle of the thickest part of my leg. If there were an elastic grip on the interior of the leg it would probably fix the issue. Or just make the legs wider.

I didn’t like these at all, sorry. The pockets were baggy and the shorts felt loose. Sent them back.

I wanted to love these soooo bad. But after the first try on, they were super unflattering on my waist and butt, which I was willing to look past because it’s just a run and would get over it haha. I did a long run in them but was deeply unsatisfied — they rode up the entire time and just uncomfortable, spent a majority of the run picking them out. Now i know not to get 4” - or maybe it’s Nike? I thought Nike was the Running OG but I just feel so sad that I can’t wear these.

I’m so disappointed in these shorts. My friends and I ordered them for our half marathon coming up and all of us ended up really disliking them. They ride up SO badly in the front making it extremely uncomfortable and you end up adjusting your shorts during the entire run. We all noticed that the drawstring waist didn’t synch enough to comfortably keep the shorts up. I was really hoping to like these since they were pretty pricey and unfortunately we can’t return them now since we tried to run in them. I’ve always loved Nike especially for my running but these shorts were a waste of money in my book.

I love the 7/8 running tight version of these shorts, so had to give them a try! Their only negative, at least for my body type, is that they ride up while I am running. I wish they had the gel tape at the inside leg opening to help combat this. Otherwise they are great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always loved spandex shorts, whether alone or under other shorts. These have pockets, so you dint have to worry about where to put your phone, chapstick etc. The black is great as someone who sweats, as they don’t show any marks. They’re also sweat wicking and super comfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great athletic shorts! These are size small and fit me really well. I’m pretty scrawny, right now but if I weighed a little bit more, I would probably go up to a medium. They do come with an interior draw string to tighten up the waist if need be. There a handy zipper pocket in the back with is my favorite feature! It’s perfect for a couple of small essentials. And the pockets on the side are perfect for your phone! These shorts also have cute little reflective details. Love them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually do not wear shorts like this. I like my denim shorts for all occasions. However I have been trying to walk and exercise more often and the denim is uncomfortable. I decided that this was a good time to step out of my comfort zone and try something new and different. These Nike shorts exceeded my expectations. The fit is perfect and they are so comfortable. My family remarked that they looked great on me. They were so comfortable that I now wear them for other occasions and not just exercise. The design is attractive and the shorts are high quality material. I love that there is a pocket on both sides. I can keep my phone in one pocket and my keys in the other one. There is also a zip pocket on the back waistband. The zipper is not noticeable. Once you put these on you will not want to take them off. They will look great and be very comfortable. Buy a pair and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed. I need more of these in my life!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m usually picky when it comes to biker shorts because they’re pretty much all I wear during the spring/summer months. I love these ones specifically because they’re form fitting and flattering (they hide the mom pouch!) and they’re very comfortable. They’re size accurate and come down to a nice length for biker shorts, they’re not too short and seem appropriate for most situations especially during the summer since there’s no pattern/giant logo so you could easily dress them up with a longer dressier shirt or pair with any shirt to go work out. I’m very excited to have these shorts!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an active stay at home mom, I pretty much live in leggings or biker/running shorts. These shorts are so comfortable. The material is on the thicker side and is SUPER soft and buttery. They feel very high quality. I love the depth of the pockets (both sides!). They fit my phone and keys and I don’t have to worry that they’re going to fall out. If you’re thinking about buying these shorts, just do it! You won’t be disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression was how comfy these are. They do seem to run a little small but not too bad. The drawstring is nice if you need a bigger size in hips and thighs but not the waist. The shorts are great, even if you have thick thighs like me. The material is thick but very lightweight and soft. They have a zipper pocket on the top of the back waistband, I personally wasn't fond of it due to the little bulkiness but is a nice touch. There are 2 nice pockets on the sides which are perfect size for a phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got a pair of Nike running shorts with a 4-inch inseam, and they’ve quickly become my go-to. The length is perfect—not too short, but still gives plenty of mobility. The material is lightweight and breathable, so they stay comfortable even on longer runs. I also appreciate the built-in liner, which adds extra support without feeling restrictive. My only minor complaint is that the waistband can shift a little during high-intensity workouts, but overall, they’re a solid choice for running or training.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Nike Swift Women's High-Waisted 4" Tight Running Shorts With Pockets are amazing if you are super active in any way. I love to run, albeit I’m not very good, and these shorts are perfection in every way! Nike has designed the most functional and lightweight running shorts I have ever worn. These shorts do not ride up and have great features such as pockets that can fit a phone easily, a drawstring to adjust for any size, and material that keeps you cool but substantial enough to keep everything where it needs to be. They are a super flattering mix of function and style, suitable for all sizes and shapes. Love these for my on-the-go active lifestyle!
