As great as it might feel to wear your best linen shirt on a summer's evening, some occasions call for something decidedly more laid back. Sportswear, born out of a need for lightweight, breathable, and ultimately comfortable performance apparel, is a perfect match for such warm weather times, and it doesn't come much better than when served by Nike.
The world's biggest sportswear brand has been providing summer-ready garments for decades and continues to do so. A big range of new season products by the Swoosh just landed at Urban Outfitters, from casual tees and running shorts to everyday sneakers included. We've picked out some of our highlights below, as well as some pointers on how we'd style them.

Nike Flex Trail Shorts
