This Has To Be The Most Imbecilic Jump Rope Ever To Exist.
In what universe is something “adjustable” if it requires you to cut it to change the length? Nowhere on the packaging does it suggest that you would need to do this; buyers are only informed after the fact when you open the instructions packet and it tells you that you need a wire cutter (not included, of course). Or, in my case, you need three different wire cutters and your cat’s nail clipper to cut through this thing. Continuing with the theme of blatant lying and false advertising, the instructions tell you to “use wire cutters to trim cable, LEAVING 1 TO 2 INCHES BEYOND THE BALL BEARING, but no more than will easily fit inside the handle.” You absolutely cannot leave 1 to 2 inches—more like 0.5 centimeters. The handle that you have to screw back on isn’t hollow, so it doesn’t permit you to tuck any wire into it (certainly not 2 inches worth). The cable is also very tough, so it doesn’t flexibly fold into the handle. I’m not an engineer or design specialist or whatever, but I imagine it would be more productive to have a hollow handle that you screw on so that you don’t have to cut the excess cable after you adjust. This way, you can readjust if necessary, and other people can use the jump rope. Bottom line is this: the “adjustment” is permanent and will nearly bring you to tears of frustration trying to execute. There’s nothing on the packaging to suggest you will need to cut the rope, so by the time you realize this (and realize that you can’t re-adjust to a longer length), you can no longer return the product. Smart on Nike’s end, I guess, but malevolent. Please do not spend your money on this. If you can’t find a legitimately adjustable jump rope, you can always cut up a cheaper one. Also notice how all of the positive reviews for this product “received incentive”…

Terrible Actually, Returning Tomorrow.
Terrible actually, returning tomorrow. Cable is all twisted and will not straighten out, "Bearings" in these are not bearings at all. Don't waste your time or money with these.

Nice, Speed Jump Rope
This is a very sleek, speed jump rope. Was very easy to adjust to the proper length with the included tool. The cable is coated wire so I expect it to hold up well. Very happy with the overall product.
