Nike introduces a look at its special Grind Dumbbell, which is a strength training equipment with a unique construction. The team created the dumbbell using eco-friendly materials as it is crafted from at least 20% Nike Grind rubber -- this is a byproduct of the brand's manufacturing process. This is the first time that the team is unveiling recycled rubber used as a strength training product.
It has a sleek design with the signature Swoosh motif as branding and a numbering system. The edges have a sculpted structure and the handle is knurled at a medium size for a secure grip with just enough friction and control during home or gym workouts. All of the dumbbells have a grey base and various Nike Grind rubber with different flecks for a unique look.
