Nike football ball Metro leather.

The Metro Leather is a new match level Nike football ball with a huge difference.
Two words describe the Metro Leather Nike football ball, retro and classic! This fantastic brown football ball, made from real leather, is a FIFA Approved match ball and features a high quality bladder which is made from a Nike exclusive, specially modified 6-wing carbon latex with Air Block II air retention system. Basically, this football is a Nike Total 90 Aerow, with the leather outer replacing the synthetic one.

This Great looking Nike football ball features a 3D effect Swoosh logo on one side of the ball and is a 32 panel ball. A real Throwback to the classic days of the beautiful game!

Looks sweet. I'm sure I've seen it before somewhere though. Its Nice to see a return to proper leather footballs, but it will be interesting to see how it performs compared with synthetic balls and particularly, how durable and non-water-absorbent it is.

I dont think that leather is such a good idea. I got the legend a couple years ago and the leather panels got absolutely recked. I can't imagine a full leather ball.

it would not be good to play on concrete or outside cement would ruin the leather only good for grass or turf

I imagine it will become quite heavy on wet pitches too. It would be good on turf or summer pitches.

good quality: very soft, feels and looks like grass. has tiny black bits in it.
bad quality: green sandpaper. really thats what it is

i think the word for the grass like turf is omni-turf or 3g turf and yeah thats what i ment biggy. Astroturf is a pile of shit. BTW did you exchange those vapors that were too big for you ?
