ASICS running shorts are designed to suit different needs and preferences of runners. Some ASICS running shorts have pockets for carrying small items like keys, while others have dedicated phone pockets for easy access and security. Others are designed for performance or track running without pockets, to reduce weight and drag. The differences between men's and women's shorts are mainly in the fit, length, and waistband. Men's running shorts tend to be longer and looser, with a drawstring or elastic waistband. Womens running shorts tend to be shorter and tighter, with a wide or flat waistband for comfort and support.
