Order custom basketball compression shorts in the 5-inch inseam built in our Sialkot factory and shipped worldwide. The lower-body base layer that supports the quads and hamstrings, locks in body heat in cold gyms, and stays put through every defensive slide and rebound. Premium 200 GSM 4-way stretch polyester-spandex blend. Same fabric as the compression long-sleeve. Full-color sublimation that flexes with the fabric, and a silicone leg gripper that stops the shorts from riding up under the game uniform.
The custom 5-inch basketball compression shorts are the lower-body counterpart to the long-sleeve compression shirt. Same 200 GSM 4-way stretch polyester-spandex fabric, same flatlock-seam construction, same sublimation-ready outer face. Empire Five Athletics manufactures these shorts at a 5-inch inseam that falls at mid-thigh, with a silicone gripper at the leg opening that prevents ride-up under the game shorts across a full game. The fit is true compression. Snug to the quads and hamstrings for muscle support and circulation through four quarters of play.
Compression-grade 4-way stretch poly-spandex, flatlock-seam under-uniform construction, and silicone leg gripper engineered for season-long lower-body support.
Fit: Compression shorts run TRIM by design. They should fit snug to support the muscles. Size up one if a player prefers a less-compressive feel. The 5-inch inseam falls at mid-thigh.
Decoration: Embroidery and tackle twill are restricted to the flat hip panel only. Stitching across high-stretch zones (thigh, waistband, leg opening) pops as the fabric flexes during play. Sublimation is the recommended decoration for compression shorts because it stretches with the fabric.
Sublimation is our recommendation — the only decoration method that flexes and recovers with the 4-way stretch fabric across full-game wear. Embroidery and tackle twill are limited to the flat hip panel only.
Full-color digital designs printed into the polyester-spandex fibers — the only decoration method that flexes with the fabric across the full 4-way stretch range. Graphics never crack, peel, or fade and color-match your compression long-sleeve and game uniform exactly.
Dimensional decoration restricted to the flat hip panel. Embroidery and tackle-twill stitches pop when applied to high-stretch zones (thigh, waistband, leg opening) because the spandex flexes more than the thread allows. We can embroider a small front-hip crest with no issues.
Flat-color decoration possible on the hip panel only — but generally not recommended for compression shorts because flexing fabric can cause ink crack over time. Sublimation delivers the same look without the durability trade-off.
Standard ranges for men's, women's, and youth fits. Compression shorts run TRIM by design — see the note below for guidance.
