Reviews

Love the look and fit but the seams is another thing…

"The edges or the seams are coming apart after one wash and the material is piling considerably. I’ve only worn and washed it once… I love the fit and the comfort of the shorts but at this rate of deterioration I’m not sure it will last me very long."

Natalie H. (2/5)

Love the COLORS

"These were the perfect purchase for Pride Month but also perfect for feeling colorful while out running. The only caveat I have is that the fabric is so light that it is already starting to fray on the very edges of the bottom after one ru and one wash. I will wash a few more times before buying additional pairs as much as I love the lightness for the hot summer runs!"

Brooke H. (5/5)

New favorite shorts!

"I’m new to LSKD but am quickly learning why it’s such a hot brand among runners! The barely there feeling is perfect for summer outdoor movement. I was a little disappointed with how tight they are on the waist band but I think I just need to order mediums in everything LSKD in the future instead of smalls. I’m 5’5” 125lbs for reference"

Julia H. (5/5)

Accelerate 3” High Rise Shorts

"The high waist versions are very flattering for people with a softer lower belly. As a thicker thigh girl, they ride up when i run so i sometimes feel like I’m exposing too much skin (i live in a 3rd world country). So i wish they would make a version with longer lining. Other than that, they are very fun to run in and quite flattering"

Diandra Z. (4/5)

Looked used after 1 run

"On my first run i enjoyed them they looked very cute, for the first couple kms it was good then it started rubbing to getting and bunching up. The material then went all fuzzy and looks old now."

Jazmyn C. (2/5)

Horrible chafing

"I did a half marathon and a 10k in these shorts and they caused really bad chafing. Even with wearing bike shorts they are not good. Probably won't ever wear them running again, but don't particularly want to wear them to the gym either because of how high they rise up. If you are okay with all of the above, the colours are really cute, and they feel really light weight. To be fair, I love the LSKD brand, they have great shirts I use for the gym and running. But I think I will stick to bike shorts :)"

Riley S. (2/5)

New favorite shorts

"I thought I wanted the high rise, but when I tried both I actually preferred the mid rise. They are so light weight and two tone color way is fun. I get lots of compliments. The built in briefs are comfy too. They are a high side slit which I love but might be a little high if you are self conscious of that area."

Rachel B. (5/5)

So cute!

"i've seen these all over and I love the mid rise look so I thought I'd try them and I really do love them. The medium was a perfect size for me and love the color! I think the best thing about them is that I wasn't constantly adjusting my shorts during my workout, which is something that I find I often do with other shorts. my only issue is that I think I might've gotten a little pull in the material from one of the wooden boxes in my gym so there is a little pool in the shorts but besides that they're perfect and that's not something I care that much about."

Gorgeous colours

"Love love love this colour way! Accelerate high rise are my go to shorts for comfort and style for all my run sessions. Look so good with the pink rose accelerate sports bra. Running in these amazing shorts honestly feel like your wearing the lightest flowing shorts ever. They move so well with the body."

Lisa A. (5/5)

So bright & fun!

"I bought these to wear at Sydney Marathon to make it easier for my family to see me and I already love them. Only note to be wary of, because the fabric is really thin be careful of jacket zippers rubbing on them. After 2hr long run the bottom of my zipper has scratched up the fabric already."
