Collection:

Men's Shorts

Men's gym shorts need to handle a full session without riding up, sagging or getting in the way, and that is exactly what our KNAKRD training Shorts are built for. This collection is one style for now, and we would rather give you one pair that does the job properly than a page of options that don't. The Shorts are cut to move comfortably through squats, sprints and everything in between, in a lightweight stretch fabric made from 89% polyester and 11% spandex that dries quickly when you sweat. They have secure zip pockets to keep your phone and keys in place, plus an integrated shirt holder so you can tuck a tee away mid-session. They come in Black, Khaki and Matcha Green, sized S to 2XL, for A$9.99. Our models wear a Large. If you want a simple, hard-wearing pair that stays out of your way while you train, start here.

Before you choose

How do I know what size to order?

Everything here is true to size — take the size you normally wear. Every product page has a size chart, and the fit recommender will confirm it against your measurements if you'd rather check.

Will they go sheer or roll down?

No. Every colourway is squat-tested before it goes on the site, and the high waistband is cut to stay put rather than fold over. If a pair ever behaves otherwise, we want to hear about it.

How long will delivery take?

Order by 2pm (Sydney time) and it’s packed and shipped the same business day. Shipping is free on orders over A$120, and every order is tracked from the moment it leaves us.

What if it doesn't fit?

You have 30 days to send it back and we cover the return postage — so trying a size costs you nothing but the time it takes to repack the satchel.

What to look for in men's training shorts

Zip pocket gym shorts that keep your gear secure

Loose pockets are the fastest way to lose your keys on a treadmill or have your phone bounce around during a run. These zip pocket gym shorts close properly, so your essentials stay put whether you are lifting, running or walking home. The integrated shirt holder is a small detail that makes a big difference when you train without a top or want to strip a layer halfway through a workout, because it gives your shirt somewhere to go that isn't the gym floor. Both details are built in and kept low profile, so the shorts still look clean and simple when you wear them outside the gym for the rest of the day.

Lightweight, quick dry fabric that moves with you

The fabric is a lightweight stretch blend of 89% polyester and 11% spandex. The polyester keeps it light and helps it dry quickly when you sweat, while the spandex gives enough stretch to move freely through lunges, squats and sprints without the shorts pulling or restricting your stride. They are cut so they don't ride up or lose shape halfway through the day, which matters if you train in the morning and keep them on for errands afterwards. Choose Black for an easy everyday pair, Khaki for something a little different, or Matcha Green if you want a colour that stands out slightly without being loud. All three colours use the same quick dry fabric and fit.

Sizing, pairing and delivery

Finding your size and building a training kit

The Shorts run from S to 2XL, and our models wear a Large, which gives you a useful reference if you are between sizes. Every product page has a size chart, and our sizing chart gives a quick overview. For a full training kit, pair them with our quick-dry training Shirt, which shares the same practical, no-fuss approach, or the relaxed Oversized T-Shirt for before and after your session. You can see all three together in our unisex basics collection. At A$9.99 a pair, it's easy to keep a couple in rotation for the week, so there is always a clean pair ready for your next session.

Delivery and returns

Shipping is free on orders over A$120, and every order is tracked from the moment it leaves us, so you can follow it all the way to your door. If a pair isn't right, you have 30 days to send it back and we cover the return postage, so trying a different size or colour costs you nothing but the time it takes to repack the satchel. Every KNAKRD piece comes with that same promise. We would rather you find the pair that actually fits than keep something that doesn't, which is why buying your first men's gym shorts from KNAKRD is low risk from the start. If you have a question about fit or fabric before you order, get in touch and we will help you choose.
