Spalding Outdoor Rubber Basketballs | Performance Rubber Cover Designed for Outdoor Play Colors

First off the ball’s colors are beautiful, especially if you’re into the paint splatter look which my dog and I are fans of (as you can tell)The tack of the ball is pretty good and feels very grippy compared to some other balls like the basic versions of Wilsons or Spaldings.Also the material is full rubber and the bounce so far seems good. I’m just not sure about the durability in the long run as I’m sure it’ll wear more compared to a leather composite shell.Overall it’s a great looking and feeling ball and it’s great quality that could pass for a way heftier price tag than $15-20. Oh and lastly the ball came loose in a brown box with no labeling or packaging so keep that in mind in case you’re wanting to present this as a gift.

I bought this NBA official basketball for my oldest grandson (9) as he says wants to practice for the NBA. The marble design is so different and since he takes it to school and after school camp it stands out and everyone knows that is his ball. It has saved many squabbles as the boys fight over who's is which.As an added bonus this ball has excellent bounce for dribbling and doing tricks with the ball too. This interesting design, quality and very good price has made me and my grand very happy. Definitely worth the money and very quick delivery surprised me.

Best outdoor basketball. Grip over the last month is good still. I've bought Phantom basketballs and they wear within a month. This one is still going strong. I even bought the more expensive zi/o excel basketball to test and that wore fast as well. This is the best bang for buck and recommend for concrete outdoor play.

Here are its key pros and cons:Pros:✅ Durable – Made of high-quality rubber, it is well-suited for outdoor surfaces like concrete and asphalt, resisting wear and tear.✅ Good Grip – The deep channel design provides excellent grip, enhancing dribbling and shooting control.✅ Affordable – Budget-friendly, making it a great option for casual play and practice.✅ Multiple Sizes – Available in different sizes (29.5”, 28.5”, 27.5”), catering to players of all ages.Cons:❌ Average Bounce – Compared to professional game balls, its bounce may feel less responsive due to the rubber material.❌ Limited Indoor Performance – It doesn’t perform as well on indoor wooden courts, where control and feel may be compromised.❌ Dust Accumulation – The rubber surface tends to attract dust and dirt over time, requiring regular cleaning.Overall Verdict:If you’re looking for a durable and budget-friendly outdoor basketball for recreational play or training, the Spalding Street Performance is a solid choice. However, if you prioritize premium feel and performance for competitive play, you may want to consider a composite or genuine leather basketball.

cute but wonky. kid loved it however, it was a bit egg shaped and not perfectly round. I do think this helped her in games however, because she never got use to anything being perfect in practice so it might have lent a hand there however, it did have a odd shape

This basketball is great! It arrived in perfect condition and was full of air. Highly recommend!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Every carport needs a basketball or two! My grandson loves this basketball for it vibrant color and consistent bounce. It comes in 3 sizes and several colors. It came inflated! so was ready to play with right out of the box. It is often left in the Texas heat and has yet to fade or loose air.

Great Basketball! My Son loves the texture and excellent grip.
