Ball NIKE PLAYGROUND 8P 2.0 K DURANT (deflated) – size and weight as labeled

NIKE PLAYGROUND 8P 2.0 K DURANT (deflated) is a sports basketball supplied without air, intended for playground and training use. The ball is delivered deflated and requires a pump and valve insertion before first use. The printed label on the ball indicates the official size and weight; users should refer to this labeling to confirm the correct size class for their needs. The construction and surface texture are designed for outdoor courts, schoolyards and recreational settings where durable, grippable play is required.

Advantages

The ball’s design emphasizes durability for outdoor use and consistent bounce when properly inflated. Being supplied deflated reduces risk of damage during transport and allows users to set the exact inflation pressure. The textured outer surface improves grip on asphalt or concrete surfaces, and the model is suitable for repeated practice sessions and casual games. The simple valve opening supports use with standard hand or electric pumps.

Suitable for

• Outdoor playgrounds and public courts
• School physical education classes and youth programs
• Recreational pick-up games and training drills
• Basketball practice sessions where durable outdoor performance is required

Key specifications

• Condition: supplied deflated; requires pump and valve insertion
• Intended use: outdoor/playground basketball and training
• Surface: textured for improved grip on hard courts
• Material: durable exterior suitable for asphalt and concrete play
• Inflation: compatible with standard basketball pumps and needles

How to use

Before first use, insert a compatible pump needle into the ball’s valve and inflate to the pressure indicated on the printed label. Check the ball’s label to confirm the correct size and weight, then inflate gradually while checking bounce and firmness. Avoid overinflation to prevent damage. After use, store the deflated or inflated ball in a dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects to extend service life.

Usage recommendations

Use a standard basketball pump with a needle designed for sports balls. For outdoor play, inflate to a pressure that provides a responsive bounce without making the ball excessively hard; check pressure by measuring rebound and feel. Regularly inspect the valve and surface for wear and repair or replace as needed.
