Gear Of The Week: Nike Phenom 2-In-1 Shorts

These shorts will make a statement in any group run, workout or road race.

In recent years, men’s running shorts have been mostly available in a few colors—typically solid black, blue and gray. So boring! While women’s apparel has exploded with colors, patterns and other design elements, men’s gear has remained fairly bland, short of a few accent stripes here and there.

These tri-color shorts, which have a built-in Nike Pro Combat compression brief, will make a statement in any group run, workout or road race. Several color combinations are available. Expect to see more brands offering a bigger range of colors and patterns in men’s shorts next year, including several surf-inspired models.

Price: $70
