Explore Shaolin Shorts, our take on an oversized mesh silhouette, now available in three colors.

Inspired by the evolution of basketball style — from the mid-’90s Fab Five, Iverson, and Ray Allen at UConn to post-Jordan Bulls-era shorts, Y2K, and the AND1 Mixtape — Shaolin channels a time when basketball, hip-hop, and skate culture moved together.

Named after the legendary Wu-Tang Clan, the silhouette nods to an era when basketball shorts became more than performance gear — they became a statement of identity and style.

Available now at johnelliott.com.
