Fair Trade / Basketball

With an eco-certified rubber exterior and interior, this Fair Trade basketball is the street eco-ball everyone is talking about. Check it out on the ViroPOP video.

And Fair Trade certified means the adult workers who produced this ball received a fair wage - at no extra cost to you! Learn more.

All-weather, high-grip surface means year-round play. Compare features and performance to Spalding's All Conference basketball at $19.99.

Eco-certified and certified Fair Trade. Union-made and vegan.

We're recently had a large run on our basketballs and are out of stock in our warehouse. No need to despair, though, as several of our online retailers such as Gaiam still have stock available. Please take a moment to stop by their website to order a basketball.

Fair Trade Sports

Fair Trade Sports, Inc is the first sports equipment company in the US to launch a full line of Fair Trade sports balls, ensuring fair wages and healthy working conditions for our adult workers. Be sure to also check out our sweatshop-free apparel.

We are committed to donate all profits after taxes to children's charities, both domestic and international. Sound familiar? It's a similar idea to the one behind the Newman's Own brand you see in the grocery store.
