They’re ok.
Pros: I like the length, my son likes the material (he only wants to wear basketball shorts) and cost.
Cons: every single pair has the seam coming undone on the leg holes. My 7yo is active like running around but not super hard on his clothing. Doesn’t wrestle or get on the ground too much. Just normal wear and tear and they are all coming apart.
Would I buy again? Maybe. The price is good for how many shorts you get. And I have a skinny kiddo so finding shorts long enough for his waist is hard.

My son loves these. They are cool and silky, just how he likes them. It is hard to find these style shorts with pockets, so these were a great find. Material is not super durable but fine for the period of time it will take him to grow out to them. Sizes run a bit small so size up.

These shorts fit nice and my son really likes them. Seem true to size

While to quality of these shorts seem to be great, I didn’t get what I was expecting as far as variety. I did not get the yellow or blue pair. Instead I was given 3 green, 1 red and 1 white. The main appeal of these shorts for me was the versatility for my son’s simple wardrobe and shirts that I purchased to match all the colors. Not just green.

Son needed some shorts for the summer. Style is nice, feel good, and haven’t fallen apart. So far so good 🙂

I have ordered these shorts for my kiddo for the past 5 years as he continues to grow. And they have been great until now. Recently he needed the next size up, going from a boys to a boys XL.
The XL shorts received are nearly 2 inches shorter than the L shorts we are seeking to replace. So as long as you get the product as described these shorts are great. They have pockets, light weight, they last and good quality for the price.
This is my second return because I got the wrong item in my first order. 4 stars because the product has worked for us up until now. Taking away a star due to receiving wrong item in first order and now size does not match description.

***UPDATED REVIEW.
A month ago, I bought 4 sets of these for my boys, 8 & 9. Since then they’ve been washed a handful of times and I’ve got no complaints outside of a few strands coming loose when I take them out of the wash. It happens to ALL clothes. I’m not worried. My boys go through clothes very quickly. I think they’re perfect for them. I was skeptical at first because of all the bad reviews I was reading. Mostly scared because in bought so many and was worried I just wasted money and would have to buy more! But that’s not the case for me. Yes their thin material but I got what I paid for. My boys wear them all the time and they have no complaints either. Very happy with them.***
I bought these before I read reviews. After I read the reviews I immediately regretted buying them but I said I’d take a close look at them when they got here. If I HAD read the reviews I would NOT have bought them. But here we are!
I very closely scrutinized these shorts. At first inspection the material is very light. I compared them to other shorts my kids have and these are definitely on the cheaper side. I did find a few strands of string that were frayed but not enough to really worry me that they would come undone. I am worried how they will do in the wash. I did not find any holes and they were all the correct size I ordered.
Overall, I do like them and my kids like them, so far. I also ordered another set of shorts from the same seller that will arrive in one day. I will update my review after I have washed these and also received the 2nd order of shorts.

My skinny 8 year old loves these. Pockets are key. But they’re also very soft and hold up well thru the wash.

Title: Perfect Fit and Comfort for Active Kids!
I got these basketball shorts for my son, and they have been a game changer! The fit is true to size, and the elastic waistband provides a comfortable, secure fit without being too tight. The lightweight, breathable fabric allows him to move freely, whether he’s at practice or just playing outside with friends.
One thing I appreciate is that they hold up well after multiple washes—no fading or shrinking. The length is just right, hitting slightly above the knee for good coverage and flexibility. My son loves the pockets for keeping small items like his phone or snacks during breaks.
Overall, these shorts are a win in terms of style, comfort, and durability. Highly recommend them for any active boy who needs reliable and comfortable comfy shorts!

These are the best shorts, true to size, comfortable and my grandson absolutely loves them.
Allison –
My son is very picky about his clothes but these shorts are comfortable to him so he will wear them and they was cheap! Definitely worth the buy in my opinion
krissol guadalupe vega armijo –
Buen producto para el precio, la talla es la normal de la cintura, solo que si vienen un poco largos y la tela se ve un poco traslúcida, para mi niño de 12 años 52kg le quedaron bien la talla 12-14 (Large)
Lori –
His so,e at this time is normally a 8-12. Because this wasn’t offered I went with the 12-14. They are a bit big and long, but he’s growing like a weed and they need will work through summer, possibly early fall. I did need to cinch them down quiet a bit on the waist.
Till Way –
Great fit! Exceptional quality!
Brynne Packard –
These shorts are decent for the price. My kid can sometimes be hard on his clothes, however we haven’t had these long enough with warm enough weather for them to wear out. The stitching is already coming out of some of the shorts, so poor craftsmanship on that front. Otherwise, these work well for some inexpensive shorts for my growing kid to play in this summer.
Nancy O –
Most importantly my grandson, for whom we ordered the shorts, loves them. They fit , the fabric is nice, they’re very comfortable. They are as described and we couldn’t be happier.
Sherrie –
These are cheaply made, but for the price, they are good. They may last through the summer, but no longer. Fit is not good but will do for a 10 year old ruff and tuff boy.
