Seamless Fit

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] New Balance is a brand I know and love. My black seamless shorts are both comfortable and functional. The cool airy material and lining keeps me cool when I'm wearing them.The fit is true to size and look great on. Great for workouts or a casual day out. Tie strings make it easy to get just the right fit. These are great shorts I love them.

The perfect short for working out.

3 months ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The New Balance Men's RC 5" short fits perfectly and has excellent breathability. See my photo where I have stretched the fabric and it shows the pores. It is very comfortable because it doesn't trap heat and is very stretchable and is perfect for working out. I really liked the outer zipper pocket and the two internal pockets to keep my things secure while I exercise.

Absolutely incredible, but missing decent pockets!

2 months ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly I love these shorts. They are super comfortable, feel very non restrictive when running and the inner lining is perfect for keeping everything in place and removing any issues that could arise for skin rubbing. I would give these 5 stars if they had side pockets or if the back zip pocket was bigger to fit my phone/other things I will be using these shorts regardless until they either don’t fit anymore or they fall to pieces from overuse! My previous running shorts haven’t come out of the cupboard since these came and I won’t be looking for anything but these for future purchases

Shorts

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shorts are really nice and fit well. They look good and are great for working out, running, and any other exercise. My only complaint is that it does not have side pockets. It only have one zipped pocket in the back but it is not deep enough to hold anything. Other than the pocket issue, these shorts are great.

Simple and effective breathability

3 months ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very durable shorts for long distance running and breathability was excellent due to the perforated material. They fit well and were comfortable for the duration of my training. They have a minimalist style which can be paired with any outfit.
