Nike Dri-FIT SI Practice 5" Mesh Short in Black, Men's at Urban Outfitters

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Nike Dri-FIT SI Practice 5" Mesh Short channels classic gym class energy with a modern, sportswear-literate update. In sleek black mesh and a just-right 5-inch inseam, these shorts land at the exact intersection of nostalgia and newness. The breathable mesh has an airy, swishy drape that feels equally at home on a morning run or lounging curbside, while the soft interior keeps things easy against the skin—never clingy, always cool. There’s a quiet confidence built into the clean, unfussy silhouette, making it as much about attitude as it is about performance.

With a forgiving elastic waistband and subtle side pockets, this pair doesn’t fuss about structure but still delivers shape where it counts. The slightly loose fit leaves room to move (or chill), and the Dri-FIT tech keeps things dry when the tempo picks up. Side pockets handle essentials—keys, card, phone—without swallowing your shape. Layer under an oversized tee for that borrowed-from-the-varsity look, or sub in a blazer and crew socks for a high-low, off-duty edit that reads intentionally relaxed. The Nike mesh short translates across gym, street, and home, never out of place—just always in sync with wherever you’re headed next.
