Working out has never looked so cool with these galaxy-inspired shorts designed by [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmic-runner). Coming in all sizes and four different prints, these shorts are both trendy and practical.

The shorts are designed with a stretch waistband and contain internal briefs to create support and comfort, perfect for any physical activity. They are also made with Dri-FIT material to keep the sweat off. There is even a small pocket inside the back waist of the shorts in order to keep your [iPod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipod-classic-fidget) or MP3 player from getting in the way of your workout.

[Galaxy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-chocolate-bar) prints have been making their mark all year, so why not work out while keeping up with fashion trends at the same time? At $32.00 these shorts won’t be breaking the bank, and the complements will begin flooding in.
