DESIGNED FOR PLAYERS WHO SHOW UP

LOOK LIKE YOU BELONG BEFORE TIP-OFF.

Serious players understand that preparation begins before the ball goes up.

ELITE PRO™ was created for athletes who want their gear to reflect how seriously they approach competition. Tournament weekends, men's leagues, intramural games, 3-on-3 events, and organized runs may happen outside the professional spotlight, but the players inside them still want to arrive prepared and look official when they step onto the court.

This product exists to give that player a more complete competition experience—one where confidence, presentation, and performance feel connected.

THE ELITE PRO™ SHOWROOM

EVERY DETAIL EARNS ITS PLACE.

ELITE PRO™ exists for players who prepare with intention.

Tournament weekends.
Men's leagues.
School seasons.
Championship games.

Every panel, waistband, pocket, and stitch was chosen because serious competition demands equipment that feels ready before the opening tip.

ELITE PRO™ isn't about doing more.

It's about doing every detail better.

MESHX™ TECHNOLOGY

STRUCTURE YOU CAN FEEL. PERFORMANCE BUILT TO LAST.

MeshX™ is TRAPN’s premium performance mesh technology, developed to balance airflow, durability, structure, and a substantial athletic feel.

Instead of chasing the lightest possible construction, MeshX™ is engineered to maintain its shape and presence through repeated play and wear. The result is breathable performance with the confident feel expected from premium basketball apparel.

01 Material Experience

SUBSTANTIAL BY DESIGN.

MeshX™ has a substantial, premium feel you notice the moment you pick it up. The dimensional mesh has real body in the hand—soft enough to move naturally, but never thin, flimsy or disposable.

02 Durability

MADE FOR REPEAT PLAY.

MeshX™ is built for the repetition basketball puts on your shorts—games, training, washing and wearing them again. Its substantial mesh construction helps the shorts maintain their structure and appearance through repeated use.

03 Comfort

AIRFLOW BUILT IN.

The open mesh construction allows air to move through the shorts as your body heats up, helping release heat while maintaining the substantial structure that gives MeshX™ its premium feel.

04 Material Performance

HOLDS ITS SHAPE.

MeshX™ has enough body to hold its shape instead of collapsing or clinging to the body. The result is a more composed basketball silhouette that still moves naturally through every cut, stride and run.

ENGINEERED FOR SERIOUS PLAY

Every detail earns its place.

ELITE PRO™ wasn't designed by adding features until the shorts looked premium. It was built by questioning every detail that affects how serious players move, prepare, and compete. From the structure of the mesh to the feel of the waistband and the security of the rear pocket, every decision was made with purpose.

FIT

2-Inch PRO Waistband

The wider two-inch waistband provides a more secure and stable fit through movement without feeling restrictive. Its added structure helps keep the shorts comfortably in place during cutting, jumping, and repeated play while delivering the premium feel expected from tournament-level gear.

2-INCH PRO WAISTBAND

STORAGE

DUAL REAR ZIP POCKETS

Two discreet zippered rear pockets provide secure storage for essentials before, during, and after play. Integrated into the garment's construction, they maintain a clean competition silhouette while offering balanced, easily accessible storage without unnecessary bulk.

PURPOSE

Built for Tournament Play

ELITE PRO™ starts with a different standard. The proportions, waistband, storage and overall construction are built around what we want from shorts when the run matters.

More substantial than an everyday pair and intentionally designed for competition, ELITE PRO™ brings those details together in one basketball-first build.

ENGINEERED FOR SERIOUS PLAY

GAME STANDARD

OFFICIAL GAME CONSTRUCTION.

ELITE PRO™ was built around the construction of serious game shorts — a substantial 2-inch PRO waistband, heavyweight MeshX™, longer basketball proportions and four-pocket storage, including two secure rear zip pockets.

The result is a pair that looks and feels different the moment you put it on. More substantial. More composed. Built for the runs where what you wear should feel like game equipment.

PRO & COLLEGIATE-INSPIRED GAME BUILD

WHEN THE RUN MATTERS

BUILT FOR THE GAMES YOU CAME TO WIN.

Competition changes what you reach for.

ELITE PRO™ is built for the runs that matter — tournament games, league nights, 3v3, 5v5, 1v1 and every matchup where you're keeping score for a reason. The moments when you want to step on the floor looking prepared, feeling locked in and wearing something that belongs there.

From the wider PRO waistband and MeshX™ construction to secure storage and the longer on-court fit, every detail is designed around a more serious basketball experience.

When it's time to compete, dress like it.
