Here's an update on this trend:

Not many pics of the below the hip area, but he definitely likes his shorts short.

... since these are considered short shorts. When I was younger, all tennis shorts were shorter than this and volleyball and track shorts were even shorter than tennis shorts. Now it seems like the only truly short athletics shorts are for running. The local college cross country team runs past my house sometimes and they mostly wear very short short, sometimes with deep side splits, and no shirt. Might as well run in speedos, they wouldn't cover much less.

Yes, I suppose that might be considered daring - not sure what Wimbledon Rules lay down about length.

Btw, I found the Japanese guy with denim cut off cut off cut offs in a short shorts video2 which is NSFSF (Not Suitable For Speedo Forum)

If they are 1/2 way up from the knees (and even shorter), that's good and it indicates men are starting to push back against the long & baggy look.

They are generally well above mid thigh,much closer to waist than knee and often spilt at the side almost to the waist. This is the local college cross country team, so probably not representative of college men in general.
On a totally unrelated note, except it refers to lack of shyness among young males, another local college is doing The Full Monty for thier fall musical.
While I gather that despite the title, there is minimal full frontal nudity, I believe it does show a lot of males who are wearing little.

LOL - perhaps they can take a few tips from Les Dieux De Stade - the
French rugby guys seem proficient, with clever photography, in producing
their tasteful and sexy annual calendar.

This article is about a father who wanted to shame his daughter for wearing short shorts, however many (if not most) of the comments indicate that men in short shorts look just OK!!!

I drove by a high school athletic field today and I noticed there were teenagers in P.E. class running multiple laps around the track.

Surprisingly, about half of them were in pre 90s era running shorts. So some progress is being made and encouragement to keep up the campaign.

School track teams bus the students to a local park to run. Most are shirtless, wearing short compression shorts under nylon running shorts. My guess no more than a 6-7 inch inseam.

Could someone explain the value of compression shorts to me?
A jock was sufficient for them in the past but I see rugby players
wearing them more and more nowadays.
The effect is very odd as they may be wearing white short team shorts in the game - but protruding beneath are black compression shorts almost down to the knee.
