And though it may seem like a simple object, it can be subject to innovation.
The airless part refers to how this ball doesn’t need to be inflated.
It keeps its spherical shape without having to continually be blow up.
And best of all, its unique structure and research-grade materials replicate the bouncing capabilities of a regular basketball.
The surface of the prototype comprises a lattice of small hexagonal holes that allow air to pass through.
The eight-panel seam structure present in the model used in NBA games allows it to resemble a traditional basketball.
The drama was heightened even further by its coloration matching the player’s black uniform.
Possibilities for other sports and future Wilson products, revolutionary sustainability through additive manufacturing and so much more.
This is innovation made to push boundaries and open imaginations.
