When it comes to sports technology, game balls often are overshadowed by gear like shoes, guards and even jerseys; this is not the case in soccer. In a game with limited gear, the ball quickly becomes the focus of engineers and players alike. With the Puma v1.08 Ball, Puma claims to have introduced the first intelligent football. The secret to this "Best Of" soccer ball's performance is a layer of d3o foam. The putty like d3o foam instantly stiffens when kicked, helping to retain the balls shape; giving you better control for those opportune goal shots. In addition to the d3o, Puma utilizes their revolutionary dimple technology, minimizing drag on the ball, enabling you to kick the ball farther and faster on a breakaway. The twenty-four individually shaped panels have a PU coating that repels water and is extremely resistant to abrasion. This soccer ball is not only a 3LUXE "Best Of", it's also the official football of the Italian national team and is a FIFA approved competition ball. The only downside we see to this soccer ball, the competition will be playing with it too.
