No pockets
I have a pair of these shorts in blue. I love everything about them but (and this is a big but), there are no pockets outside of the one on the back

Great Looking Quality 5" Shorts
These are great everyday running shorts that deserve a five star rating but I had to cut a star. The quality and attention to detail is very impressive for a shoe company making shorts. The material of the exterior and liner is a bit heavy for summer but it's perfect for the rest of the year. I'm 5' 8" 140 pounds and wear small in nearly every brand, I'd say the fit is a hair small compared to most shorts and the liner goes down further on the sides than anything I've worn before which may make it feel a hair smaller. The liner feels odd briefly then I don't notice. If you put gels in the liner pockets for quick access the tops would rub on your skin, so these are not for race day. Despite my gripes I bought a second pair.

Liner is definitely tighter than previous version!
Had to return due to liner being too tight. Couldn’t keep them on for more than 10min! And I’m 6ft 145lb for reference.
New Balance US response
We’re sorry to hear that the liner felt too tight and made these uncomfortable to wear. We understand how frustrating it can be when the fit does not allow for longer use, even with a standard frame. Please reach out to our Customer Care team so they can review your feedback and help with next steps or alternative options.

Disappointed
The liner is way too tight for how loose the shorts are. A real mismatch.
New Balance US response
Thank you for sharing this feedback with us. We understand how frustrating it is when the liner feels much tighter than the outer shorts, creating an uncomfortable mismatch in fit. Our Customer Care team can help review the issue and suggest options that offer a more balanced and comfortable design.
