Description
Overview
The Nike Padded Goalie Short – Mens is the short-cut goalkeeper option in the Nike range. It keeps the essentials and nothing more: padding at the hips where most dives end, a lightweight 100% polyester shell, and an elastic waist with drawcord so it stays up when you go to ground.
For keepers on abrasive surfaces or in colder months who want the leg covered, the Nike Padded Goalie Pant – Mens adds full length and a stirrup hem with the same hip protection.
Key benefits
- Hip padding takes the impact out of repeated diving.
- Lightweight 100% polyester keeps the short unobtrusive under a keeper jersey.
- Drawcord waist stays secure through goalmouth scrambles.
- Short cut suits keepers who prefer freedom of movement over full coverage.
Who it's for
Senior club goalkeepers, secondary school first XI keepers and adult social-league players who train and play regularly enough for hip bruising to become a problem.
Junior keepers should choose the Nike Padded Goalie Short – Youth, which is sized for younger players. Outfield players wanting matching club shorts can look at the Legion Sublimated Rugby/League Shorts or browse team uniforms for other codes.
Sizing guide
Men's sizing; individual sizes are subject to availability. Contact the customer-service team to confirm what is on hand before ordering for a club.
Care, safety and set-up
Set the drawcord before warm-up so the padding stays aligned over the hips during play. Dispatch is generally same or next business day from Mount Maunganui, nationwide.
