Nike Women's Tempo Shorts

Description

You don't have to run track to appreciate the wicking comfort of these lightweight Women's Tempo Shorts from Nike. Some race and workout shorts are fairly simple in design, but Nike optimized the construction of their Women's Tempo Short for venting and comfort--traits constantly mentioned in consumer online reviews. Also called the Nike Tempo Track Shorts, they feature Dri-FIT microfiber polyester fabric, an easy-care, highly breathable wicking material that helps pull perspiration away from your skin. Along the sides are mesh panels to enhance overall air flow around the built-in internal briefs with each stride. These running shorts are a popular choice for women who run marathons, 10Ks or friendly 5K race events--especially in warm weather conditions. The exact inseam lengths are dependent on sizing, but the medium-size Nike Women's Tempo Short features a 3.5-inch inseam.

Finally ... Shorts, Not Too Short!
May 05, 2012

As a runner for the past 12 years, I am always thrilled to find running shorts as cute as they are functional ... without being too short! The Nike Tempo shorts absolutely fit the bill. Although I am only 5' 4", I have a difficult time finding shorts that reach past my upper thigh, especially when running. The inseam on these is perfect, not to mention they're lightweight and cute. Would recommend to anyone looking for a bit more coverage than the average running shorts.

Pros: Performance, Great value

Love Nike Shorts!
April 30, 2012

These shorts are made well, fit true to size, are comfy and a staple in my workout wardrobe. Altrec sent them Fed Ex so I got them right away which was a bonus-- and got a great deal on them! They come in so many color combinations, it was hard to decide but got 3 pairs. Gotta love Nike workout wear and Altrec for fast and friendly service!

Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value, comfortable, fit true to size

Love the shorts, my favorite. Very comfy and stylish. However, I purchased a size too big by accident. Had to return them and I had no problem with the return. I would love one in every color.

This is my first time shopping from Altrec, and I think this website is great. First of all, there are a lot of choices, and the prices are resonable. The most impressive thing is the shipping is free and fast! I will definetely come back here again

Awesome shorts
March 08, 2012

Love the Nike Tempo running shorts! I have several pairs in different colors. The fit is a little baggy in the hips, but they are comfortable for running. I especially like that they are a little longer than most running shorts, so I feel comfortable wearing them for errands or at school pick-up time. You can bend over with your back-side still completely covered. I am 5'10" 133 lbs. and I ordered size small. This particular pair is black with white trim and mesh sides. I was surprised that the inner liner was also black (all of my other tempo shorts have white liners). The black liner shows through the white mesh slightly near the waist band, but I don't think it is a big deal. This was my first order from Altrec - I was very surprised and pleased to receive my order 2 days after ordering!

Fantastic Buy
February 26, 2012

These shorts are great for everything! Hiking, biking, and working out. Very comfortable and great fit. The colors they come in are very fashionable and the built in underwear is my favorite part! it's not to clingy and feels very light. After wearing these nike shorts, it will be hard to switch back to other brands (they're that good)!

I have bought 2 of these shorts in different colors. They are amazingly comfortable and despite being short, they are not revealing, thanks to the inside liner. I fully recommend this purchase

Great active short!
January 19, 2012

These shorts are a must have for a active lifestyle. Great lightweight fabric perfect for a long run but still gives great coverage for lifting in the gym. Loose and comfortable without being baggy. Great selection of fun color combinations...something for everyone! Regarding the fit...I personally like a loose fit, but not sloppy, these are spot on. I am 5'7" and weigh 130 pounds and the size small is perfect.

January 18, 2012

These shorts are great for working out, going to class, and lounging around in! I wear them on campus and to the gym. They're pretty true to size, but go with a smaller size if you're sort of in-between or wear multiple sizes like I do. I love these shorts!

Nice Addition to my workout wardrob
January 18, 2012

I only bought these shorts because they were on sale and I was starting a new bootcamp and desperately needed a new pair of shorts. Luckily they worked out great. The fit is great for the constant movement that goes on at bootcamp. They don't ride or hinder my performance at all. They also don't show off any personal areas like some shorts will. I would definitely buy multiple more pairs if they go on sale again!

I'd been looking for solid white Nike Tempo shorts forever so I was super excited to see them here. I had to get them. They may be a bit "see through" but the there is the "underwear" lining that all Tempo shorts have so I'm not too worried about it.

These shorts are great for gym, running errands, walking dog and I've received many compliments on them. I am an avid weight lifter and the shorts stay in place, do not ride up and I am sold on the tempo shorts line. I would definitely recommend these to anyone. The fit is definitely true to size. I am 5'5" 125 and the small fits great.

Cute; Close Fit
August 14, 2011

These running shorts are cute, and the design is very flattering. The fit is close. I wish there were a pocket big enough for a hotel key card. Otherwise, they're a decent value and comfortable.


Cons: needs a working pocket on lining

Really comfortable and cute!
June 18, 2011

I got these shorts for the gym and find myself just hanging out around the house in them! Get compliments on them all the time, don't ride up at all and find them very lightweight. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for new shorts.

great shorts
June 14, 2011

As always, these nike shorts are very comfy. I wear them for everything at the gym, from spinning to circuit to outside jogging. Very durable and wash well have had some of these shorts for years and years. Altrec has many great color selections too!

color does not look like picture
May 09, 2011

I LOVE these shorts but BEWARE - the pink shorts do not look like the picture at all. They are dark bright pink not light pink. And the light grey color is a LOT darker. Other then that the shorts are great

The best running short
May 09, 2011

In my opinion, there is no better running short...and I've tried a lot! I have so many of these shorts, I've lost count! The fit is perfect and the colors are great. I've worn these for 10+ mile runs without any issue. I'd recommend anyone buy a pair or two of these shorts ASAP!

Love these! The only running short I will wear. Super comfortable and lightweight. I am training for a marathon and theses are great! I have multiple colors and will be buying more!

Will not run in anything else
March 01, 2011

After buying my first pair of Nike Tempo running shorts, I was hooked! I now have about 6 pairs of these shorts and i'll die if Nike stops making them. They are super comfortable and have room in all the right places. They are made for a WOMAN'S hips, unlike so many other shorts i've tried. Love them!

Good work-out staple
February 27, 2011

I now own these shorts in several colors. They are light-weight, breathable and comfortable. They changed the inner liner color to match the short vs. just plain white, better camouflage. I am a curvy size 8 and own this style both medium and large. The large is a little baggy, but allows more for my 'junk in the trunk.' The medium is probably more flattering. Both are great.

February 25, 2011

These are my absolute favorite shorts. Most comfortable ones I own. Have them in 3 different colors. Love to wear them to the gym for my exercise class. Doesn't ride up at all!

Cool Shorts
February 24, 2011

Nike shorts have always stood up to early morning runs on mountain trails to sprint workouts on the track. These are great shorts that never lose their shape or fit.

GOOOD (:
February 22, 2011

I ordered too big of a size, not considering how loose these shorts fit on the bottom! But it definitely is pretty and comfortable with the right size. The pink in the picture was not the same pink; it is more hot pink.

I love these shorts. They are perfect for running or just lounging in the summer in. They run a little small and I got a size larger than I normally would and am glad I did. Would recommend!

These Are My Favorite Shorts
December 29, 2010

These are my all time favorite Running Shorts. They are very comfortable to run in, and come in a nice variety of colors to choose from. At this present time I own 18 pair of these shorts. I love the different colors that they come. I also work out in the gym with these shorts because they are not too short to do so in. I am 5'3 and weigh 108lbs and the size small fit me nicely. I highly recommend these shorts.

Tempo track shorts
December 28, 2010

Bought as a gift for my wife, and she was thrilled. Fits perfectly, high quality, and very comfortable. She wants several more pairs

December 19, 2010

i'll run in these forever! super comfortable, easy to wash, fits to size. looks great on too!

Runs a tad bit small
December 05, 2010

I found that these shorts run just a tad bit on the small side--nothing drastic, but just a bit smaller than similar shorts. They are still comfortable and super durable though so I'd recommend them and also buy them again but I'd order a size up for comforts' sake.

October 21, 2010

the shorts are very thin but comfy and fits true to size. it look good on me and they makes me feel athletic and hot :)

Wonderful Shorts!
July 02, 2010

I bought a few pairs of these shorts for running, and found myself coming back for more right away. They're perfect for running and walking, but also comfortable enough to wear any time. They've been keeping me cool in the sweltering Florida heat this summer!

AWESOME!!
June 05, 2010

I have these in just about every color available. As a tall woman, it's very difficult to find women's athletic shorts that are not too short. These are just right in length...especially for running or gym classes. They're also super cool and great at wicking!!

Lauren Dandurand

Excellent!
