This is one of those collaborations that are a match made in heaven.

As we get deeper into the dog days of summer and it gets ridiculously hotter, giving us the perfect excuse to be poolside or at the beach, Nike announced its new collaboration with NBA star Jordan Poole.

Designed in collaboration with Poole, the Washington Wizards hooper adds his flair to one of Nike Swim’s staples with the Fadeaway Poole 9″ Boardshort.

With Poole’s touch, the Fadeaway Poole 9″ Bodyshort easily transitions from the street, courtside to “Pooleside,” Nike said in a statement.

The swim shorts are the ultimate combination of basketball shorts, offering comfort and style while providing wearers with the functionality of board shorts.

An official description for the shorts reads:

When you need a pair of shorts you can where anywhere, this fresh takes on a classic has you covered. Complete with side piping and leg vents, these versatile board shorts have a retro-inspired look that can take you courtside to poolside.

Here is the complete breakdown:

Designed to take you from courtside to “pooleside.”
The Nike Fadeaway Poole Boardshort features side piping and leg vents that mimic the design of shorts worn on the court.
The Poole iteration of the Fadeaway Boardshort is 9″; 2″ longer than the original.
The Nike Fadeaway Poole Boardshort stands out as the only tonal color option available. It showcases blues inspired by the serene hues of Lake Michigan, where Jordan spent his childhood summers in Milwaukee.
The Nike script font on the left leg is also on Jordan’s Nike GT Cut 3.0 basketball shoe.
