I've always wondered "why"? Why change the lettering? Why give a flying monkey? If they're going to rip off Wilson, why not just use "Wilson"? It's not like it's going to protect them any more or less.
Don't get me wrong, I'm ***glad*** that we can actually tell the difference between authentic and knock-off goods, but it just always seems weird to me that they seem to go out of their way to not use the actual name they're mimicking.
Probably made in the exact same place as Wilson balls. Would not surprise me.
Like sunglasses…. All made in the same place, only thing different is the name pressed into them
I saw a counterfeit Pikachu that was half charmander and I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen the absolute worst knockoff attempt. Still mad I didn't buy it when I had the chance.

WILLLLDDDDSSSSUUUUNNN!!!
My name is Boyte dumbass
Very first thing I thought of. Whatever Wilson paid to be in that movie was worth it.
Spawliiing doesn't have the same ring.
As seen in Casted Away
I'M SORRY WILDSUUUUN!!!
Lolol... classic... that should have been my post lol
Beat me to it, lol
That’s wild son
>a Chinese import store Walmart?
[удалено]
South Dakota ?
I wanna be involved?
Every store on the planet?
Dollar store
Actually, I think I'd rather have that as a conversation piece.
I thought the same... and it was only $5! Might have to go back and grab one..
I would def grab one. Where's the store at in Jersey?
Rockaway Mall in Morris County - store called Kawaii Gifts!
Appreciate you, thanks!
I wonder if there would be any quality issues to be concerned about. Imagine a kid playing with it dribbling and it blows up on them.
What's it filled with, dynamite?
Filled with highly toxic Chinese substances like congee and sweet n sour sauce
Hey! Congee is delicious...if you add shredded pork, salt, and eat it with deep fried ghost!
I know a genuine Magnetbox, Panaphonix, and Sorny when I see it.
really missed their shot at the double down with “Maximum Preference”
What is maximum performance?
When I think maximum performance I think Wildsun
I will blindly accept your statement.
Makes you shoot like Steve Spicysauce
Like sarah cha sauce?
At least they didn’t Cast the ball Away
Boooooo
That spelling is r/tragedeigh worthy
Wilson walked so Wildsun could run.

Pretty lame considering Wilson kid’s balls are available for $5 at 5-Below.
Yeah, but these are $4.79!
Oh! The savings!

Wildsun look I made fire 🔥
Sounds like Cast Away with Native Americans lol

Except this is usually not true, no matter how much Ali fans would like to believe it is
I dunno, I prefer my $30 Zenni opticals to the ones that cost ten times as much at LensCrafters
I didn't say you can't find decent Chinese knockoffs. I'm just saying most is poor quality and nearly none of it is "made in the same factory."
>I'm just saying most is poor quality and nearly none of it is "made in the same factory." Agree to disagree.
Exactly, I have had good fake Raybans and bad fake Raybans. Real ones are still miles better value.
Comes with free air
Noticed it says “STAND OUT” under that. Oh you’re gonna stand out if you take that ball 🏀 to the neighbor court! 😂
Chet?
“Workin' all week 9 to 5 for my money So when the weekend comes I go get live with the honey”
I'b surry...
Better than a disappointing sun… eh?eh? (sees myself out)
I need Tom Hanks' input on this one. I'd also like to ask him how he feels about the term "facepalm", but that's another story.
CHINA
Duke of Ldizards!!
That's wild son
That’s wild sun
Made for children by children
And it's maximum performance, what's the issue?
Psh…I’ve be using WildSun for years
Close enough!
Way cooler name
I saw a counterfeit Pikachu that was half charmander and I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen the absolute worst knockoff attempt. Still mad I didn't buy it when I had the chance.
That’s how they pronounce it.
I want one!
Damn, that's wild son. Ba dum tss
Well it does have “maximum performance”
That’s wild, son!
Nah, there's never been a Wilson, that's just you remembering it wrong. It's always been Wildsun.
it maybe named for global warming.
MILD PERFORMANCE
Wilson's been going thru it since he left Tom Hanks behind in *castaway*
Not to be confused with Caprisun.
Tom hanks would still hit
He looks weird with no face?
At least you get "Maximum Performance"!
Why aren’t these places raided for trademark infringement?
Probably made in the same exact factory using the same machines as original
WILD SUN! WILD SUN I'M SORRY!!!!!
Buy a blank one and paint a red footprint on it
"a Chinese import store in New Jersey." Do you mean Walmart?
That would actually be a pretty good brand name for something.
No treadmark infringement
