The natural latex used to make the bladders in these balls is sourced from sustainably and responsibly managed plantations in South India and Sri Lanka.

They do tend to lose a bit of air naturally, so will need pumping up now and again - this is normal, and also happens with the best professional footballs.

Ethletic pay a Fair Trade premium to the rubber producers in Sri Lanka, and the balls are produced under a Fair Trade arrangement in Pakistan: The Fair Trade premium there helps pay for health insurance for the workers and a micro credit scheme.
