About adidas
The vision of company founder Adolf Dassler long ago became reality, and his corporate philosophy the guiding principle for succeeding generations. The idea was as simple as it was brilliant. Adi Dassler's aim was to provide every athlete with the best possible equipment.

It all began in 1920, when Adi Dassler made his first shoes using the few materials available after the First World War.

The adidas name dates back to 1948, deriving from the first two syllables of Adi Dassler's first and last name. One year later, Adi Dassler registered the Three Stripes as a trademark.

After a period spanning almost 70 years, the Dassler Family withdrew from adidas in 1989, and the enterprise was transformed into a corporation ("Aktiengesellschaft"). French-born Robert Louis-Dreyfus was chairman of the executive board from April 1993 to March 2001. It was he who initiated adidas' flotation on the stock market in November 1995. adidas--a name that stands for competence in all sectors of sport around the globe. Today, the adidas product range extends from shoes, apparel and accessories for basketball, soccer, fitness and training to adventure, trail, and golf.

Adidas World Cup 2010 Glider Soccer Ball Reviews

Nice Ball, heavy, somewhat sticky
I bought the white version of this ball at Sports Chalet about a month ago. My purpose in buying it was mainly for Intramural college soccer games and for goal keeper training.

--Pros.
Aesthetically beautiful
Heavy: Allows for different flight patterns.
Good for indoor soccer
Ball stays on the ground more which demands more passing action rather than serving
Draws curious players (meet new people): I found it helpful if I walked onto a pitch alone and wanted to join an ongoing game.
easy to clean: the material, I guess, makes stains come out easily under some water and a paper towel

--Cons:
Heavy: More difficult to make it fly farther (frustrating if you are a keeper)
Tires your legs out when taking many free kicks in practice (but good for leg conditioning)

Sticky: I found the ball to occasionally get caught under my foot when I would do a sweeping motion over the ball while dribbling quickly.

My conclusion:
I now use this ball for my indoor soccer matches and whenever there is an outdoor match that does not matter if I win or lose. I found it too heavy for my own liking, but many of my friends liked it better. It is also great to use as an alternative ball when training a goalkeeper as it makes for different ball reactions and requires more force to stop with hands.

Smaller than official size, most likely not durable

I caught a bit of World Cup fever and purchased this ball in size 5 on a whim. It's a replica of the official Jabulani match ball. Instead of using the traditional Buckminster design, it uses a different pattern of stitched panels which confer a rounder shape. Here's how I rate the ball:

1. Meets official weight and size of 420-445g and 68.5-69.5 cm circumference? At 10 psi, the ball weighs 440 g. This is near the upper limit, but acceptable. On the other hand, the ball measures only 67.5 cm in circumference, less than the official size limits. 2 stars

2. Durability? The ball's construction contains a butyl bladder, a polyurethane core and a nylon-wound skin. A butyl bladder is standard for balls; the match ball uses EVA. The combination PU/nylon skin gives this ball a nice soft feeling to the panels, but I expect it to be much more prone to scuffing and tearing than pure PU skins. Of course, it's impossible to determine durability without long-term ownership. 3 stars

3. Looks? This ball is nowhere near as colorful or attractive as the official match ball, which has 11 colors. This ball has only 4 different colors. It also has a multi-color stamp that says FIFA World Cup, South Africa 2010. But it's only a stamp, so likely to rub off with a little use. 3 stars

Overall, I would say I'm a little disappointed with the ball. It makes for a fairly cheap souvenir of the 2010 World Cup, but not a very good training soccer ball. There are a lot of better options available.

Good Buy
This product is what we espected, my son loves it, good texture and color design, and also size number 4 it's better to control for him
