• Ball doesn’t hold air.

  Purchased the ball and it constantly needs pumping up. It doesn’t hold air and deflates rapidly. I can’t hear any air escaping so it must be a manufacturing default. It has been like this since the ball was first purchased.

• Defective manufacturing - do not recommend

  I had high hopes for this ball. My son (10 years old) had a Nike Strike ball that he absolutely loved. He and his club team were looking for new balls and we went with this ball in High Vis yellow. I originally purchased 30 of these balls for the team and in less than two weeks 50% of them didn’t hold air. I purchased 20 more balls as a replacement and within a months time they were all flat and would absolutely not hold air. There is a manufacturing flaw with these balls. Air will leak straight out of the valve stem faster than you can pump it in. Do the math 50 balls later and our boys still don’t have balls to use. A total waste of money and time. When they are good, this ball is VERY nice, but unfortunately something is defective in their manufacturing and durability. Nike needs to take a serious look at their quality to truly make this ball good again.

• Deflates and out of shape very quickly

  I've gone through 2 of these ball within a couple of weeks of each other. The first one didn't hold the air and the second went out of shape after 3-4 hours playing time. Also doesn't come with a warranty so you are very likely to be stuck with a faulty product after a couple of hours usage.
