I bought this at Christmas for my son. During the winter he didn't play much, but we realized quickly that it kept losing air. This summer, now that he's using it, it doesn't even hold air for one whole session of playing. He has to pump it up every half hour or so. It's ridiculous to spend that much on a ball that won't hold any air at all.

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.

Ball Won't Stay Inflated
My daughter used this ball for 2-3 months before it started to leak constantly from the inflation valve. She now can't make it through a practice without the ball going flat. Should have listened to the reviews, as it appears this is very common.

Defect: Doesn't Hold Air
I purchased two of these (one sized 4, the other 5) through two different stores and neither holds air. They require re-inflating on a weekly basis, if not every use. One ball was limited to indoor use and the other was used outdoors. Both have an identical manufacturing defect.

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.
