The Nike Men’s Gym Essential FG 2.0 Training Gloves give lifters and functional-fitness athletes a minimalist black glove with targeted foam padding on the palm and thumb. Breathable mesh between the fingers keeps hands cool during high-rep sets, while the adjustable hook-and-loop wrist tab locks the glove in place for deadlifts, pull-ups, and kettlebell work without bunching or slipping.
Features:
-
Synthetic leather palm with light foam padding for bar grip and callus protection

Mesh gussets between fingers vent heat and sweat
-
Adjustable hook-and-loop wrist closure for secure, custom fit
-
Terry-wipe thumb panel for quick sweat absorption

All-black colorway (091) hides chalk and gym grime
Common Q&A’s:
-
Do the gloves run true to size?
Yes; order normal hand-circumference measurement—snug fit breaks in after one or two workouts.
-
Can I machine-wash them?
Cold water, gentle cycle, air dry; avoid fabric softener to preserve grip texture.
-
Are these suitable for outdoor functional training?
Palm padding handles rubber-coated kettlebells and rigs, but uncoated rough bars may wear fabric faster than indoor use.
