NikeSKIMS Shine Bonded Waist 5 Short

Product Insights & Style Tips

The NikeSKIMS Shine Bonded Waist 5 Short in Black hits that cool-girl sweet spot between gym and street. At roughly 14 inches long, the length sits just right—short enough to feel effortless, long enough to stay put. The bonded waistband keeps the line clean from hip to hem, while the self-fabric blend of 38% polyester, 31% spandex, and 31% nylon yields a soft, forgiving stretch. A cotton gusset lining adds breathable comfort where you move most.

Pull-on styling makes the pair a breeze to wear, and the stretch keeps the fit close without pinching. The bonded waist holds its place as you bend, sit, and stride, while the gusset lining adds a breathable layer of ease. They layer seamlessly with a cropped top or oversized tee and can flex from a studio-to-street mood with sneakers or streamlined sandals.

NikeSKIMS continues to blend performance-aware fabrics with sleek, minimalist tailoring, a mood The Cool Hour readers know well. This Shine short nods to the athleisure moment—polished enough to pair with tailored pieces, relaxed enough to live in with casual knits and tees.
