It is a practice type ball
It's a Football made by ADIDAS
A soccer ball is used to play soccer. Adidas, Puma and Nike make soccer balls. The best soccer balls are FIFA approved.
As for which is the "best ball", no singular answer for that, but if you are trying to purchase a good ball, stick to "Premium Match" quality balls and if you can find a ball that is FIFA & NFHS Approved and/or NCAA Compliant as these are usually manufactured to a higher quality.

the Adidas tango in the world cup in Spain 1982
It was the official Adidas football of the 2008 European Championships.
The Glider has a panel pattern and design similar to that of the Official Match Ball but with a different type of cover/bonding and usually comes in a variety of different color combinations. The ordinary replica is like any other 32-panel ball, yet has an identical paint design to that of the Official Match Ball of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Glider is usually the cheaper choice and both balls are characterized as training balls.
My personal favourite is NIKE and ADIDAS and these two are best brands for sports.
The ball for the 2008 Olympics soccer tournament is called Adidas Magnus Moenia and is designed in Red/Silver with golden Chinese writing on it.
Just bring the ball and the receipt back to an Adidas store and explain the problem. They may give you a refund or exchange the ball for a new one.
