The biggest mistake the NBA ever made was allowing players to wear 12-inch basketball shorts. Actually, we have Michael Jordan to blame for that. Jordan had reportedly asked his manufacturer for longer shorts, and the rest of the NBA followed suit, adopting the horrid fashion statement and moving away from the short-shorts of the 70s and 80s.
Of course, short-shorts didn’t go away entirely, and in recent years they’ve had something of a comeback, but some men are still hesitant to show off a little extra thigh when running around their neighborhood. I assure you, though: if you don’t mind the occasional look up and down from the lady next door watering her plants, there’s no reason not to sport the short-shorts, because they’re incredibly sexy. Also, the less fabric, the less bogged down you feel chasing that mile PR.
And maybe because it’s week three of quarantine and I have not felt the touch of a man in so long, I am borderline sexually attracted to these running shorts Rhone just released.
The new 4-inch Swift Knit Short is a stripped-down running short built for speed and comfort, and it is the hottest running short I have ever seen. The short is made from ultra-lightweight fabric with four-way stretch, and it includes a liner, a drawcord and a zippered back pocket to keep your keys, AirPods or credit cards secured. You also have your choice of color from Grigio (grey with black trim), Nettuno (a navy with white trim, giving you that retro track star look), or my favorite, a real head-turning Rococco Red (bright coral, baby).
In addition to making super hot shorts, through May 1st Rhone is donating 10% of its online profits to Direct Relief — a humanitarian aid organization working to improve the health and lives of people affected by poverty and emergencies. And on top of that, when you spend $200 you get $100 of Rhone Funds which can be applied to your next order.
So as the weather gets warmer and you’re still stuck jogging around your neighborhood, consider picking up a pair of these comfortable, stylish running shorts and do your civic duty of keeping the neighborhood ladies entertained.
