Customers may not consider much of the options for sportswear on the market, but sports equipment is a billion dollar industry and countless companies are in fierce competition to put out the best products. For instance, shorts are not as expensive as hockey pads or basketball shoes, a variety of the largest equipment companies have invested considerable time and effort into mass production of several different styles and fabrics. Nike tennis shorts are among the most popular brands of equipment, as they provide aerodynamic support with lightweight, moisture resistant fabric. There are several different types of tennis shorts from Nike, and each one has different design specifications.

Nike's Dri Fit men's shorts are one of the most popular models produced by the company, as they utilize certain synthetic fiber in the design which does not absorb water. As a result, the lightweight shorts do not bulk up during extensive exercise or if used for casual swimming, keeping lower body speed uninhibited and reducing rashes or irritation. At only thirty five dollars, Dri Fit shorts are available in either white or black colorization. The elastic band has an extensive draw cord for simple tightening or loosening, side pockets with zippers, and capability for machine washing.

For an extra fifteen dollars, customers can upgrade to the Back Spin men's shorts, designed specifically for tennis play rather than simple running or other exercise. These shorts add the versatility needed for casual or serious tennis players, with mesh side pockets to store balls, water, or hand towels. Like the Dri Fit shorts, the Back Spin also includes a synthetic water resistant design, but is designed to eliminate water quickly as well as repelling it. Side leg seams funnel water or sweat into drip notches, so that the shorts will not gain weight keeping water out, as the water will slide almost completely off the sides. The Back Spin is available in white, black, red, and blue colors.

For all purpose exercise, the Twill Pull On shorts allow for multiple uses in tennis, basketball, field sports, or just running around the block. The Twill Pull is cheaper than the Back Spin for their lack of customization, but still provides comfort and utility to athletes of all capabilities.

Just like Reebok and Adidas, Nike has many models of all equipment, large or small, and enough types of Nike tennis shorts for any age and ability of tennis player.
