Mesh sports shorts these days are baggier than ever. Go to any sporting goods store such as Footlocker, DicksSportingGoods, SportsAuthority, Champs, etc and the shorts are f*ckin ginormous. Most letsrunners would need to wear a Nike size Small b-ball shorts because >medium would look like capri pants.
we runners get teased for our <5inch inseam shorts. in the US today if you're a male and you wear shorts that are <5inches (even baggier running shorts that are 4-5in) then you must be gay
It could have something to do with the black population.
everyone still wants to look like the fab five from michigan.
Easier to carry concealed!?
gotta love the baggy shorts with under armor underneath so that the knee length shorts keep falling down to the ankles - a nation of retards.
No, this trend actually started because a few big players in the NBA in the late '80s early '90s, namely Michael Jordan wanted to wear longer basketball shorts when they played.
Agreed. I see suburban white kids wearing shorts down to their ankles, looking like total retards.
the kaftan is making a comeback this summer
Why do you care so much about what other people are wearing? And do you really want to see a bunch of dudes wearing short shorts on the basketball court or at the mall? It would look like the 80s all over again.
Or, itt could have something to do with he was shopping for shorts at those typical sporting goods stores and was wondering why he couldn't find something that didn't go past his knees.

If by "these days" you mean "in 1998." The baggy shorts look hasn't really been popular for a while.
you show a pic of MJ in the dunk contest in '87 to try to validate that? google michael jordan suns 92 and see the length of the shorts. overall, baggy clothes has fallen out of style. if you watch any music video it's about skinny jeans, vans, ray bans, and plaid shirts. fashions change. duh
It's because we have a nation of men who are ashamed of their bodies and project their shame onto others through homophobia.

Yup. I've been looking all over for a decent pair of shorts to run in that have no liner with an inseam less than a foot. Suddenly (like in the last couple of years) that combination no longer exists. I don't care what anyone else wears as long as I can find what I want to wear.

Where the heck do you people live? I very rarely see people wear super long shorts anymore and would have zero problem buying a pair of normal athletic shorts at any department store or sporting goods store in the city I live in. If nothing else, your local Dick's should have what you're looking for.

I think you are wrong. Yes they were popular in 1998 but this summer it has gone to a whole new level. Everytime I go outside I see junior high and high school kids wearing shorts down to their ankles..white, black, it doesn't matter. They are all wearing them.
I'm from Baltimore (where blacks and wiggers run rampant) and I have no trouble finding running shorts or "regular" length shorts.
Pro tip: Buy your shorts sized youth extra large. They are a lot cheaper that way too.
