We ordered two units of this loose-fit Nike graphic tee at $3.88 and measured both flat. Thirty print options, sizes L to 5XL, and a fabric sheet that names acrylic and polyester in the same breath.

Editor verdict
A cheap, roomy synthetic graphic tee that survived its first wash and matched its listed weight. Thirty prints, sizes L to 5XL, and honest build for $3.88 — just confirm the fibre blend and the measurements before you pay.
What works
- Thirty print and colour combinations, each offered in white or black
- Sizes L to 5XL with a stated 1–3 cm measurement tolerance
- Around 210 g per shirt, with the digital print intact after one cold wash
Watch-outs
- No care label or measurement chart; fibre listed as both acrylic and polyester
- Loose cut runs roomy, and category-level Nike fit guidance suggests sizing down one for a standard fit
- The $3.88 headline excludes agent fees and international shipping

Anyone who wears L or above, wants a roomy short-sleeve graphic tee for sport or summer, and is willing to confirm measurements and fibre content with the seller before paying.
Shoppers who want a close, standard fit, need a confirmed natural fibre, or would rather not check a measurement chart before ordering.
We ordered two units of the Nike Classic Logo Printed T-Shirt — one 2XL, one 3XL — through our agent, at $3.88 each against a listed original of $4.49. The parcel was photographed and weighed before we opened it. Both shirts were then measured flat against the listing and washed cold once to see what the digital print did.
What arrived
Two folded short-sleeve tees in a plain poly mailer, no retail tags and no individual polybags. The parcel weighed 470 g including the mailer, which puts a single large shirt at roughly 210 g. That sits inside the listed fabric weight of 180 g to under 250 g, and it is heavy enough that neither the white sample nor the black one read as see-through against a dark surface.
Stitching was tidy at the neck rib, shoulders and hems, with no loose threads on either unit. There was no care label inside the collar on our samples, which matters for the fibre question below.
Fit and measurements
The listing calls this a loose, Korean-style cut and does not publish a measurement chart, so we measured the garments rather than trusting the letters on the bag.
| Measurement (flat) | 2XL as received | 3XL as received |
|---|---|---|
| Chest, pit to pit | 58 cm | 61 cm |
| Body length, shoulder to hem | 72 cm | 74 cm |
| Sleeve, shoulder seam to cuff | 22 cm | 23 cm |
| Hem, flat | 57 cm | 60 cm |
The two units sat within the stated 1–3 cm tolerance of each other, and the chest measurement is generous for the letter size — this is not a slim tee. Sleeves are regular rather than capped, and the hem falls mid-hip, so the shirt layers over another top without pulling.
Two sources of fit guidance informed this review, both category-level rather than specific to this listing. Buyer-written Nike fit reviews warn that tees labelled loose fit run roomy and that shoppers wanting a standard fit often size down one. Chinese-language buying guidance says Nike short-sleeve sizing is broadly accurate but varies by line and cut, and advises checking the specific item's measurements instead of assuming a letter size behaves the same across styles.
The fabric listing names two materials
The specification text names acrylic as the main component and polyester as the fabric name. Those two entries do not match, and with no care label in our samples we cannot resolve it by inspection. Our impression is a mid-weight synthetic jersey with a slight sheen and a dry hand — comfortable in warm weather, not especially soft. If fibre content is a deciding factor for you, ask the agent or seller to confirm the blend before you pay; treat the listing text as unresolved rather than confirmed.
Print and wash test
The decoration is digital printing, and both of our samples had clean, saturated edges with no visible registration drift on the smaller graphic elements. We washed both cold, inside out, and air-dried them. The print showed no cracking, lifting or tackiness afterwards, and the white shirt showed no measurable colour pickup when washed alongside the black one.
That is one wash and one data point. The listing claims breathability, moisture wicking and high colourfastness; we can support the first two from wearing the shirt for a day in mild weather, but long-term colour retention is not something a single cycle can prove.
The 30-print lineup
Every print is offered as a white or a black short-sleeve tee, giving thirty combinations in total:
- Cartoon and character motifs, including the bear graphic, the sleeping astronaut, the sunglasses dog and the boy with hands in pockets
- Swoosh variants, including the small multicolour mark and the cracked/graffiti version
- Scene and graphic prints such as city sunset, coloured graffiti, the clown cube and the geometric motifs
The listing describes the top as suited to sports and to summer or year-round wear, in a size run from L to 5XL aimed at larger builds. Because variant names are abbreviated, compare the image group for the exact print you want rather than the label text.
Value at $3.88
As a headline price this is very cheap, and the construction we received does not feel like a compromise at that money. The caveat is that the shirt is not the whole cost: agent service fees, domestic shipping and the international line all sit on top, so judge it on the landed cost per shirt. Even after those additions it remains a strong value proposition against comparable branded graphic tees.
Before you order
- Ask the seller to confirm the fibre composition, since the listing names both acrylic and polyester.
- Request a flat measurement chart for your size; the 1–3 cm tolerance leaves room for the letter size to surprise you.
- Decide up front whether you want the loose cut as listed or a closer fit, and adjust your size accordingly.
- Check the correct image group for your chosen print and colour before submitting the order.
What sizes does the Nike Classic Logo Printed T-Shirt come in?
The size run is L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL and 5XL. The listing states a 1–3 cm measurement tolerance, and our 2XL and 3XL samples fell within that of each other when measured flat.
How does the loose fit actually run?
Our 2XL measured 58 cm pit to pit, which is generous for the letter size. Category-level Nike fit guidance says loose-fit tees run roomy and standard-fit shoppers often size down one; those reviews do not cover this specific listing.
Why does the listing name two different fabrics?
The specification names acrylic as the main component and polyester as the fabric name, and those entries conflict. Neither of our shirts carried a care label, so we could not settle it. Confirm the blend with the seller before ordering if fibre content matters to you.

Ordered the black print in XL after seeing the $3.88 price and honestly expected trash. The cotton blend is thinner than a real Nike store tee but it holds shape after a few washes. Sizing runs loose, I measured 22 inches pit to pit flat on the XL, so size down if you want a fitted look. The print is the weak spot, mine has a slight crack near the swoosh after two weeks. For under four bucks though, I'm not mad.

Grabbed the black one in XL and honestly for $3.88 I expected trash. Fabric is thin but not see-through, more of a summer weight. Print held up after two washes inside out, no cracking yet. Only gripe is the L to 5XL sizing runs big, I should have sized down.
