Review on Anthem Athletics 7-inch Men's Cross-Training Gym Shorts - Hyperflex Design by Richard Sallah

I want to replace my favorite workout shorts - Adidas Basic 3-Stripes with nice deep pockets and 8 inch inseam. Great for training, running or just most of the new shorts seem to be very long but I'm not a basketball player and they look silly on me. got them, put them on just to see how they fit/feel, haven't really worked with them or owned them for a while but here are my first impressions. PROS: - I love how they look, feel and fit. With my build extra long shorts don't suit me and I think it's the perfect length. The fabric feels good - not too thin, not too stiff. - Like The logo is quite small and unobtrusive. Some of the shorts I've seen have logos that are huge and look awful. really uncomfortable. They're too narrow to fit in your hands, so getting anything other than tall and narrow, like your phone, is problematic. - Shoelaces - first of all, that's my personal preference, but I don't like it. that they are outside. More importantly, as others have pointed out, the laces are separate and sewn into the sides, increasing the risk of failure as some people have experienced - poor design. - There are also some care instructions on the packaging which I really didn't expect for workout gear (which I expect to be a bit more durable) - No detergent, just cold water, tumble dry low. the picture is attached. Overall they're not bad for $30 but I think I'll return them - I don't like them and their durability seems questionable. If they fix the pockets and drawstring issue I would consider buying them again. But there are other shorts in the $20 range that I will try.
