I had a few of these back in the day and they were very comfy. The only issue I had, like any band with a hole & pin, sometimes it can feel like you are “between” sizes. Not huge concern with me as I tend to wear bands on the “ looser” side.
Got a tip for us?

Awesome! Thanks for the reply! I have my eye on one on eBay but have never tried these. I think I’ll pull the trigger. Thanks!!!
Comfortable yes, and they don’t sit tight at one size like a sport loop or sport band. You can get some sliding back and forth, which is nice on a hot day.
The issue is with the durability of how they look, in my book. Very easily creased and discolored.
I recently got an Apple Watch a week or two ago, and this thread has been a bad influence on me in terms of wanting to build a band collection haha. I figured that I'd start with getting some older/cheaper Nike bands for exercising in addition to the basic midnight sport band my watch came with.
The first one arrived today, and I was hoping if anyone could tell me a) what color is this; b) is it authentic; and c) easy ways to get rid of the staining w/o damaging the band too much - I tried washing with a little soap and water but it didn't do much. From googling around it might be flat silver/white? The markings & everything else seem similar? to other OEM pictures I've seen but the missing S/M logo is bugging me. Texture seems to be similar to my sport band too, but I haven't touched an actual Nike band in person yet besides this one so hard for me to tell if it's fake.
Whether it's real (ideally) or not though, hard to beat for $8 if it works I guess

Looks like the “Flat Silver/White - Nike Sport Band” circa 2016. Looks legit to me….I recently got an Apple Watch a week or two ago, and this thread has been a bad influence on me in terms of wanting to build a band collection haha.

Did that happen to you personally? My Woven Nylons all still look pristine. Of course with a relatively sizeable collection, I don't wear any one band all that often, but neither do you, I guess.
There’s no way to remove the stains if an alcohol pad won’t do it… I have two of that color actually!I recently got an Apple Watch a week or two ago, and this thread has been a bad influence on me in terms of wanting to build a band collection haha.

Got these three yesterday and after a good cleaning they’re all good as new! I especially love the Plum sport loop: I will definitely be wearing that one a lot as it reminds me of my Deep Navy one which already gets a lot of wrist time.
Soap, alcohol-based cleaner, brush and dirt eraser (melamine). Always works. Some Nike I have done to show the results..The first one arrived today, and I was hoping if anyone could tell me a) what color is this; b) is it authentic; and c) easy ways to get rid of the staining w/o damaging the band too much - I tried washing with a little soap and water but it didn't do much.

Okay, are those both the same band? Color looks much different between photo 1 and 2
Yep, same band. First photo is right beside a window with outdoor light. Second is under a overhead room light.
I guess I should have specified.
Pomegranate sport loop! Another new collection addition and a banger.
