An stub article about a soccer ball (!?) made by Nike, used as the official ball in various leagues in 2010-2011, with no sources other than a link to Nike themselves. Should IMHO be deleted as pure (outdated) promo.

comment It would be the reaction of most people, I would imagine, that articles on soccer ball brands would be outside the the scope of a real general interest encyclopedia, but we appear to have many of them. I cannot see any rational basis on which to distinguish this one from others, so unless we are going to step up to deleting the lot, it's hard for me to say why this one should be deleted.

Comment: It's not an article about a soccer ball brand, it's an article about a specific model of soccer ball. The brand article is
Nike, Inc..
