Athletic shorts are generally pretty expensive, in the $40-60 range, or even pricier if you opt for one of the higher-end options out there like Rhone or Lululemon. But Nordstrom Rack is hosting a massive clearance sale, up to 70% off already-discounted gear, and their athletic short offerings are fantastic. Think styles from Nike, Reebok, and Champion, all under $20 and stocked up in each size.
An important note — these are not running shorts. You definitely could go jogging in any of these, but they’re a little longer, and you might have to deal with some uncomfortable “swishing.” These are athletic shorts, and we recommend wearing them for pick-up games on the weekends or when headed to the gym. Find our five favorite styles from the sale below.
Umbro Trainer Swag Shorts
ASICS Solid Shorts
Reebok Logo Speedwick Sold Athletic Shorts
Champion Issue Gym Shorts
Nike Colorblock Dri-Fit Shorts
