Nike Everyday Playground 8P Basketball - Black/Pink/White - 7

This is a Size 7 basketball, which is the official size for men's professional and collegiate play, as well as for players aged 13 and older.

The ball is made from 100% rubber.

No, the basketball is supplied deflated and requires inflation before use.

You will need a standard needle pump to inflate the basketball. The needle is not included with the ball.

While durable, this ball is primarily designed for outdoor play due to its rubber construction. It may mark indoor court surfaces.

Clean the ball with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the ball in water.

The deep channels are designed to improve grip, providing better ball control for dribbling and shooting.

The basketball is shipped deflated to ensure safety during transit. You will need to inflate it using a standard needle pump before use.

Ensure the ball is clean and dry. If playing in humid or wet conditions, the rubber surface may be less grippy than usual. Allow the ball to dry completely.

Check the inflation valve for any debris. Ensure the valve is properly sealed. If the issue persists, contact customer support for potential defects.

Ensure the ball is inflated to the correct pressure. Uneven inflation can cause an irregular bounce. If the problem continues after proper inflation, the internal bladder may be misaligned.
