Nike 50-mm Grind Bumper Plates – Pair

Recycled rubber from Nike shoe soles – a part of Nike history

The Nike 50-mm Grind Bumper Plates – Pair consist of at least 30% Nike shoe soles. This means each plate reflects a piece of Nike history since you can actually see bits of leftover rubber recovered from Nike's shoe production for a certain year. The colours of shoes produced over a year continuously changes from season to season. This means each bumper plate looks a little different and is one of a kind

They are also remarkably durable as Nike subjects their plates to an additional 10,000-fall durability test to ensure they meet stringent standards. Additionally, the Nike 50-mm Grind Bumper Plates – Pair have a pleasant bounce to them, giving them a huge advantage over bumper plate made of cast iron. Cast-iron bumper plates mustn't be dropped as they could easily damage floors. You don't have to be so careful with rubber bumper plates however, because they absorb the shock of the fall. They are also much quieter if dropped, so you don't disrupt other people's workouts.
