Ever feel like rockin’ athletic shorts outside of the courts? We understand you want to be comfortable, but relying on your old gym shorts will make you look foolish. Instead, check out these shorts by No Mas. Continuing to marry nostalgic sports references with street-fashion, the brand cranked out these nylon bangers that make for the ultimate chill-wear during hot summer days. The red shorts pay tribute to the Cincinnati Reds, whose nickname was the “Big Red Machine” while they dominated the MLB from 1970 to 1976.

Clothing line No Mas NYC just posted its collaborative T-shirts with David Rathman, from a series titled “The Unkindest Cut”. The Minneapolis-based artist captures a unique story and spirit with each of his minimalist works, and these two shirts are an interesting look at the glory and dark side of boxing and car racing.
Two works “Beautiful Dollar” and “Into Your Arms” are translated onto No-Mas’ custom T-shirt blanks. They run slim, so if you don’t fit the hipster profile, up size one. They’re available now on the site’s store for $48. Read on to see the full T-shirt images…

Magic-bound heads can get first crack when the shoes drop at Undefeated's Las Vegas location on February 13.
