I bought this for grandson. I'm not sure that he has actually played with it yet, but it seems like a nice soccer ball. It does arrived flat so you do need to air it up. A lot of reviews said pumps included with soccer balls where cheap, did not have a needle (this one didn't), and prone to puncturing the ball, so I ordered a well-reviewed $10 pump with a pressure gauge and also purchased some oil for the needle. So I spent around $30 for everything. This is a nice looking soccer ball, vibrant color. I wasn't bothered that it needs to be aired up but not sure how you're supposed to do that with a pump that doesn't have a needle.
