African Print Women's Athletic Shorts, Chi Tribal Mask High Waist Performance Shorts

These African print women's athletic shorts by ASAKE-OGE are a high-waist compression performance short featuring a bold all-over tribal mask print on a crisp white canvas, made from 82% polyester and 18% spandex four-way stretch microfiber with moisture-wicking technology, available in sizes XS through 3XL at $40.

About the Chi Tribal Mask

The Chi Performance Shorts are a tribute to African ceremonial mask art, translated into a contemporary active silhouette for the woman who carries her heritage with quiet confidence. The print draws from the spiritual and cultural language of traditional African masks; geometric motifs rendered in rich earth tones, teals, and crimsons across a white canvas. The result is activewear that commands attention without overwhelming the athletic profile.

The construction is built for unrestricted movement. The 82% polyester, 18% spandex blend delivers four-way stretch that moves with the body through every squat, stride, and stretch; the moisture-wicking microfiber keeps you cool and dry through high-intensity sessions. The high-rise waistband sculpts and stays securely in place, providing supportive compression from warmup to cooldown. The mid-thigh cut is designed specifically for active range of motion; opaque fabric ensures full coverage and confidence in any position or pose.

How to Style These African Print Athletic Shorts

For the gym or yoga studio: pair the Chi with the matching Chi Tribal Mask Crop Top for a fully coordinated African print activewear set. This is your cross-sell look, a head-to-toe cultural statement for every training session.

For elevated athleisure: style with an oversized white button-down shirt and sleek slides for a sophisticated post-workout brunch look. The tribal mask print reads as art when the rest of the outfit stays neutral.

For festival or street style: layer with a fitted long-sleeve mesh top and high-top sneakers. The Chi transitions from the track to cultural festivals and creative street events with zero effort.

For weekend styling: combine with an oversized linen shirt and minimalist sandals. Explore ASAKE-OGE African print tops and tees for the perfect pairing.
