What we ordered
We ordered the Foreign Trade black athletic shorts in sport-casual style through Litbuy AI, SKU 7720570468, listed at $7.46 against a crossed-out $8.51 and marked in stock. The parcel arrived at the desk above the bicycle workshop on Nieuwe Binnenweg, was weighed on the calibrated scale and photographed on the neutral grey card before anything was tried on.
The listing describes a factory-source summer short: polyester as the main fabric, a five-point cut that ends around mid-thigh, a straight leg shape, a drawstring waist and slight stretch. The black pair carries script lettering across the front and small patch details on the lower legs. White, orange and green are also listed, in sizes M through 3XL.
QC images and the measurements we asked for
Before approving shipment we asked for close-ups of the waistband label, the side seam stitching and the leg opening. All three angles came back, so the order went ahead. The interior label reads Censhida, the factory name attached to this listing; the storefront itself is titled Foreign Trade.
One thing to flag up front: the listing publishes no waist, hip or inseam figures at all. We measured the flat waist, the inseam and the leg opening with the digital calipers and set them against a pair of shorts we already own, but there is no seller size chart to compare against. That is a seller-side gap, not a fault in the garment, and it is the main reason a buyer should message for flat measurements before committing to a size.
The season fields are also inconsistent. One field reads summer 2025, another reads summer 2024. Neither changes what arrives in the bag, but it tells you the listing was assembled from factory template data rather than written product copy.
Fit, wear and comfort
The shorts were worn indoors and outdoors across three sessions of two hours or more. The drawstring waist adjusts over a normal range and held its position without needing re-tying. The straight leg gives a clean line rather than a tapered or loose one, and the mid-thigh length stayed clear of the knee through walking and sitting.
Slight stretch is an accurate description rather than marketing padding: the fabric gives a little at the hip when you squat or step up, then returns. We logged creasing across the front of the thigh after the first long session. On a polyester short in this weight that is expected, and it relaxed again once the shorts were hung.
Sizing runs on a conventional pattern. Our test pair sat true in the waist against our reference shorts, and the 3XL end of the range should cover buyers who normally sit between sizes. Anyone between sizes at the middle of the range should size on the waist measurement the seller provides, not on the letter on the label.
Wash and finish
Following our apparel routine, the pair was washed twice at 30 °C before a second fit and finish note. Colour hold was clean, the script lettering on the front stayed sharp and the patch details on the lower legs did not lift or curl. Seam stitching at the leg opening stayed flat, and the drawstring cord showed no fraying at the ends.
The finish is honest for the money. This is a plain, factory-graded short, not a garment with taped seams or a branded trim package. Nothing about it pretends otherwise, and at $7.46 that is the right trade.

How it wears in an outfit
Black does the work here. Pair the shorts with a plain T-shirt and sneakers for warm-weather days, or add a hoodie when a layered sport-casual outfit is the aim. The mid-thigh length keeps the proportion balanced with low-profile trainers, and the front lettering is the only loud element, so neutral tops stay the safer choice.
If you are weighing this against a short with published measurements and a documented fabric weight, that alternative is the better buy for a fit-critical purchase. If you want a cheap, clean black summer short and are willing to confirm sizing with the seller first, this one holds up to what we put it through.
