Four YouTubers decided to test a £4000 Louis Vuitton football, the most expensive ever developed, against a £10 Mitre football and the cheaper option was BETTER to use.
The French luxury fashion brand developed 3000 of the balls back in 1998 ahead of that year's World Cup and they've gone on to become collectors items.

Each ball has a unique number on it and ChrisMD managed to get his hands on number 2623.
Chris, Wroetoshaw, Miniminter and Calfreezy decided to pit it against a normal Mitre football and determine which is better.
Three tests were developed to see how each ball performed in front of goal and the ball that had the least amount of goals scored with it, was burnt at the end. Actual burnt, with a flamethrower. We aren't exaggerating.

First up was free-kicks and goals only counted if they went through the hoops in the top left and right corner.
Second was power shots and that was to test how the ball moves in the air. Wroetoshaw joked he got 'Jabulani vibes' from the Louis Vuitton ball. The Jabulani was used at the 2010 World Cup and proved to be unpopular among most players.
Those two tests saw the balls neck and neck and it all came down to the final round. Volleys.

It was here problems with the Louis Vuitton ball started to show.
Chris remarked: "It moved very unpredictably through the air at times… just like a cheap £10 football. The Mitre, on the other hand, was flawless. Diego Forlan runs riot with the Louis Vuitton ball but yeah, not a fan."
The Louis Vuitton ball started to take noticeable damage too. "It's starting to crack a little, look at that," Chris says before Calfreezy asks if he kept the receipt.
He probably should have kept the receipt as it's here the Mitre ball comes in clutch with a 5-4 victory.

It means the Louis Vuitton ball, which for context equals the cost of 32 official Nike Premier League footballs at £125 a pop, got burnt.
The video ends with the ball being completely destroyed and Chris playing keepy-uppies with the remains in the car park. One down, 2999 to go.
