Wilson’s Airless Basketball

Wilson Sporting Goods Airless Gen 1 Basketball

An Unthinkable Design

From concept to design to creation, Airless Gen1 dunks on convention. Driven by its unique lattice structure, it’s a ball that redefines the way you play: a ball that needs zero air to perform. You won’t believe it until you pick one up for yourself.

3D Printed, Computer Designed

Six years in the making, Airless Gen1 employed cutting edge software to concept, design and create. All rigorously tested at W Labs by the finest engineers. The result: a basketball that challenges convention by performing in the absence of air.

Dyeing for a New Color

32 Pantone and material chips are used to create each unique color. These special mix of pigments are bonded to the ball, deeply penetrating its polymer links, allowing it to feel as good in your hand as any surface you play on.
