The new airless basketball is almost silent when you bounce it 😳 (via @Marques Brownlee/TT) #shorts
Might have heard about this this is Wilson’s new airless basketball prototype it is 3D printed and the number one question everyone wants to know is how does it actually bounce but before I even bounce it there are other differences this is a regular NBA ball it feels different like it’s got this
Slick texture to it um it also smells very different kind of smells like a shoe also I’m sure other people have heard of uh Trypophobia with the the thing with the holes in it like this has a lot of that might bother some people but anyway okay real question how does
It bounce NBA ball heirless ball so quiet that’s like 90% of a regular ball that’s crazy I was wondered if things would get inside it like if you played on a dirty Court outside but ah this is crazy I I did not expect that anyway this thing is $2,500 so don’t expect to
See it everywhere anytime soon but it is an interesting idea

The holes will cause drag. Hope they get covered.
2500 dollars? Nah
The bounce does seem more higher on a regular ball so they need to keep working on it but I like the concept. Perfect if you have a court outside your house or inside or if you go to the playground at night
$2,000………..f@ck that, $25 or so at Walmart thank you very much
3d printed and cost more than my first car 😂😂😂😂😂
It sounds like a lot but when you factor in how much you spend on air over the lifespan of a regular ball, it pays for itself
It's $2500?! But why?!
The real question isn't "how does it bounce?" But "why?", why make this?
Welp, for that price people are going to 3d print it themselves if they want it. 😂 I don't think I would, something about it is eerie, like a ghost ball. 🤣
That's just wrong for a company to make an athletic product for the very select few from this earth's population. At a price like that, most people will never purchase &/or use it.
It'll get cheaper once mass production happens.
Also, with how light it probably is, these might get taken up into space.
This is giving all those super techie sports you see in dystopian teen media
Nope 2,500$ you might as well get the new apple ar head set and play in vr lol lzzzzzzz rich people problems
How light or heavy is it? Would the material and the holes affect the shoots?
The sound of a basketball being bounced is a special sound now that I’ve heard it be taken away
Weight?
it looks too light tbh, part of the charm of basketball is playing in elementary school and getting hit in the face with a heavy ball that's been left out in the rain so its full of water
People are afraid of holes for attention let’s be real.
I can 3d print my own
$2500? Can that ball make a noob play like pro?
I have trypophobia bad and this doesn't bother me. Idk why.
For those silenced hoops missions
They're going to discreetly add sound effects in filming because people will go mad without basketball sounds as its being played. Its one of those things we dont know that we need to feel connected to what we enjoy watching.
The low key union jordan 1 super flex is crazy. I. C. U.
You just know there is gonna be some guy on here with a whole rack of these things bragging bout he got money
The sight of that ball makes my skin crawl.
What is basketball without the ball sounds and sneaker squeaks?
$2,500 = 🤡
Is it made by Apple btw??
You sound like the whitest black guy I’ve ever heard 😂😂😂 Come on… you were thinking it too!! 😂😂
