These African print women's athletic shorts by ASAKE-OGE are a recycled performance short featuring a bold tribal mask Ankara-inspired print on a deep obsidian base, made from 91% GRS-certified recycled polyester and 9% spandex four-way stretch microfiber, with UPF50+ protection, moisture-wicking quick-dry technology, a 2.5" inseam, reinforced elastic flat drawstring waistband, and mesh side pockets, available in sizes XS through 3XL at $73.50.
About the Chi Heritage
The Chi Heritage is a sophisticated fusion of African cultural heritage and elite performance fabric technology. The print features meticulously spaced polychromatic masks in burnt ochre, electric teal, and terracotta, set against a profound obsidian backdrop. Each motif is drawn from the visual language of traditional African mask-making traditions, reimagined as a vibrant icon of modern athletic power. These are not gym shorts that happen to have a print. They are a deliberate design statement: for the woman who treats her training as ritual and her apparel as armour.
The fabric is 91% GRS-certified recycled polyester blended with 9% spandex, producing a four-way stretch microfiber that moves with your body through every squat, sprint, and stretch. At 174 g/m², the matte-silk finish feels exceptionally smooth against the skin while remaining lightweight, breathable, and fast-drying. The integrated UPF50+ protection makes these a serious outdoor training short. The 2.5" inseam sits high at mid-thigh for maximum leg clearance and a leg-lengthening silhouette, and the reinforced elastic waistband prevents roll-down during high-impact activity.

How to Style These African Print Women's Shorts
For the athlete: pair with a cropped compression tank and technical trainers for sprints, gym sessions, or Pilates. The four-way stretch moves with you from warm-up to cool-down without restriction.
For the nomad: wear as a high-end swim cover-up or style with an oversized linen shirt for a relaxed resort look. The quick-dry microfiber makes these ideal for transitions from beach to brunch. Complete the look with a pair of African print women's shoes from ASAKE-OGE for a fully coordinated outfit.
For casual luxury: style with a fitted bodysuit and sandals for a high-contrast print moment at a rooftop or outdoor event. Browse the full ASAKE-OGE women's tops collection to find the perfect pairing.
About the Sustainability
The Chi Heritage is made from GRS-certified recycled polyester, meaning the fabric is produced from reclaimed post-consumer plastic. This is performance without compromise: for the woman whose style choices reflect her values. The luxurious matte-silk finish of the recycled microfiber delivers a heavyweight quality feel that belies its 174 g/m² lightness.
