Indoor Mini Basketball

Killspencer's Indoor Mini Basketball is a hand-stitched, pebbled-leather ball built at three-quarter scale — the size that reads correct on a shelf and still feels like a real ball in the hand. Made in Los Angeles from top-grain leather, it's designed to age like a baseball glove. The seams are debossed rather than raised so the ball rolls true, and the panels are cut so the leather softens evenly over years. It's a piece of sport equipment quietly disguised as an object — the kind of thing that lives on a bookshelf and gets picked up more than you'd expect.
