Have you tried ebay or online sports stores?
it's a good ball..... but the same as any other 30 dollar adidas/nike balls u can find with good cushioning. very slight differences.
That's just nonsense. Try using a 120 $ and 30 $ ball excessively for a year on all kinds of surfaces and for various activities (freestyle, 5-a-side, 1v1, etc.) and see how the ball looks like after that and then tell if they're the same...
