What reviewers liked
It’s distinctly rubberized with a tacky surface for durability, but still has a softness to the touch. Deep channels give you precise hand alignment and control, while a tacky surface helps you keep your grip.
Famous for its soft touch. The ball is manufactured with a game-dry composite leather and offers an ultra-soft feel. To ensure the softness, Nike experts kept the ratio of the material at 55% rubber and 45% synthetic leather. We experienced it rolled off the fingers perfectly for every shot. Also, it does not feel hard to the palm while catching long throws or hard dribbles.
What reviewers didn't like
Reviewers who primarily play outdoors and use it weekly say that while the ball has been degrading a bit.
It is not designed for asphalt surfaces – so make sure not to use it on outdoor concrete courts. We recommend using it on indoor courts only to ensure longevity.
