Nike Rubber Medicine Ball

Name: Nike Rubber Medicine Ball
Brand: Nike Strength
Rating: 3.83 (4 reviews)

The Nike Rubber Medicine Ball is a discontinued strength-training ball from Nike’s licensed fitness-equipment line, built from 100% rubber with a textured surface and a 9mm finger groove meant to improve grip and ball control during throws, slams, and core work. It was sold in five weight/size combinations — 4 lb (7.7” diameter) up to 12 lb (9.0” diameter) — across several color options, and was marketed as durable enough to hold its shape through both indoor and outdoor training drills. Owner reviews on GymRadar are mixed on how well it lives up to that grip claim: some report the ball holding up for years of occasional throws, while others found the surface slick and the construction underwhelming for the price relative to unbranded rubber medicine balls. With the line discontinued and no current manufacturer or retail listing, it’s now available only secondhand.

What is a Miscellaneou?

What’s in Miscellaneous

This is the catch-all for the conditioning tools and accessories that don’t fit a single equipment class — weighted vests and plate carriers, medicine and slam balls, plyo boxes, ab mats, and the odds and ends that round out a garage gym. Items land here because their job (loaded carries, jumps, core work) cuts across the categories rather than sitting neatly inside one.

Who it’s for

Anyone filling in the gaps around the big pieces. If you already have a rack, bar, and plates, this is where you find the vest for rucking and weighted push-ups, the ball for slams and wall throws, or the box for step-ups and box jumps. Match the tool to the training you actually do — a plate carrier for conditioning and rucking, plyo boxes for explosive work — rather than buying the whole shelf.

A now-discontinued rubber medicine ball from Nike’s licensed strength-equipment line, sold in five sizes from 4 to 12 lbs. Its standout dimension is durability — owners on GymRadar who’ve kept theirs for years report it still holding its shape — but build quality is where opinions split: one owner called it “nice quality,” another described the surface as “very slick” and “cheaply made” despite Nike’s marketed 9mm finger groove and textured grip. Value is the weakest dimension; more than one reviewer felt you’re mainly paying for the Nike name over cheaper unbranded options. With the line discontinued and only a handful of independent reviews, treat this as a used/secondary-market buy rather than an active recommendation.

+Durability: owners report the ball holding its shape after years of use (GymRadar review)
+Build quality: 9mm finger groove and textured rubber surface designed for grip and control (Epic Sports product listing)
+Versatility: sold in five weights from 4 to 12 lbs across multiple colorways, sized for throws, slams, and core work indoors or outdoors (Epic Sports product listing)
+Functionality: one long-time owner still uses it for occasional explosive outdoor throws (GymRadar review)

−Build quality: one owner described the surface as slick and cheaply made, contradicting Nike's grip claims (GymRadar review)
−Value: reviewers note you're paying for the Nike brand when cheaper rubber medicine balls perform comparably (GymRadar review)
−Value: line is discontinued with no current manufacturer or retail price — only used/resale listings remain (Epic Sports product listing)
−Durability: coverage is thin (4 GymRadar reviews total), so the positive durability signal isn't heavily corroborated
