NitroFlate is a groundbreaking technology developed by former NASA and Dupont scientists and is now applied to the world of b-ball. At the center of the first-ever basketball guaranteed to hold air up to 10 times longer than traditional basketballs are the seepage-fighting NitroFlate molecules that form a protective barrier to help keep the Spalding NEVER FLAT ball fully inflated (it is guaranteed to stay fully inflated for at least one year - with no additional air needed during that period). Dunk all you want, this thing will bounce back.
— "NEVER FLAT has been the top selling (#1) basketball in the sporting goods category for the past 18 months," said Lynn Luczkowski, PR for Spalding Sports. "The NEVER FLAT technology and nitroflate air molecules are also being used in Spalding’s recently introduced NEVER FLAT Volleyball and soon to be on the market, Spalding NEVER FLAT soccer ball!" 1/6/2006 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]
