Nike Pro Compression Shorts Review

Nike Pro “Tight” Compression Shorts Review

These Nike Pro compression shorts were great for about the first 6 months doing jiu jitsu and MMA. After that the elastic waistband wore out, quick. It became loose to the point of being unusable. I even tried a different generation of Nike Pro compression shorts, and they had the EXACT SAME issue!

Steer clear of these compression shorts. I recommend the Champion brand compression shorts, and the Diamond MMA Compression shorts. You want your combat gear to last, and these Nike Pros are extremely low quality. They won’t last!

How This Was Made

  • The recycled polyester used in Nike products begins as recycled plastic bottles, which are cleaned, shredded into flakes and converted into pellets. From there, the pellets are spun into new, high-quality yarn used in our products, delivering peak performance with a lower impact on the environment.
  • In addition to reducing waste, recycled polyester reduces carbon emissions by up to 30% compared to virgin polyester. Nike diverts an average of 1 billion plastic bottles annually from landfills and waterways.

Sweat-Wicking Power

Nike Dri-FIT technology moves sweat away from your body for quicker evaporation, helping you stay dry and comfortable.

Built-in Breathability

Mesh at the inseam and upper seat lets air flow to help keep you cool. A double-layer mesh gusset in front puts breathability where you need it.

Movement Minus Distractions

Lightweight, stretchy fabric helps keep you moving naturally during high-intensity sets. The snug elastic waistband holds the shorts in place. Flat seams throughout feel smooth against your skin.
