• Item: Custom made navy and yellow color block athletic notched shorts
• Where To Buy:

  The costume department made almost all of the beach fight outfits. His top and shorts are custom made, appearing to be nylon. They are based on 80’s and 90’s athletic jersey shorts (still sold for colleges in this design). The elastic thread is stitched invisibly and only across the front and back, not around the hips. More details can be seen in the IJK Behind The Scenes video.

  Similar can be bought:

  • Navy and Yellow are specifically Michigan state colors so their shorts, particularly vintage match very well.
  • Tribe Lacrosse make a great dupe, but a brighter yellow and the colors are swapped.
  • Cotton pajama shorts
  • LASC AMERICAN JOCK COMPETITOR COLOR BLOCK RUNNING SHORT ROYAL/YELLOW

  Vintage 80’s Dolphin Men Totally shorts are the closest to Ken’s:
