The NIKE GK Vapor Dynamic Fit is another evolutionary step from Nike in the field of modern goalkeeper gloves. It is based on the Phantom Elite and the Mercurial Touch Elite and combines both innovative approaches in a single model. The result is a hybrid model that is second to none.
Palm
- New 4 millimeter contact foam for optimal grip in dry and wet conditions: Advanced 4 millimeter contact foam with integrated cushioning lamination for impact absorption and the NIKE ACC technology (All-Conditions Control).
The Nike All Conditions Control technology ensures that ball control is not lost in wet conditions. By specially treating the goalkeeper glove material, it has been possible to create the same friction between the goalkeeper glove and the ball in wet conditions as is also created in dry conditions. The material is thereforeimmune to external climatic conditions. This means that the goalkeeper has optimal ball control in any weather situation. The surface offers optimal grip in dry and wet conditions and creates an even more direct connection between the goalkeeper and the glove. From the fastener to the fingertips, the glove is covered with the new "sticky grip" and offers top performance for the goalkeeper.
Cut
- Nike Grip 3 technology with Negative cut cut: Patented Grip3 technology: The patented technology ensures more latex contact with the ball on the thumb, index finger and little finger and ensures a better feel for the ball. The control of the ball and the grip are maximized and annoying seams between the fingers and the ball are avoided by rolling the adhesive foam up to the back of the hand without a side layer. The glove has an Negative cut on the middle and ring fingers. This increases the ball contact between the glove and the ball even further. In combination with the Grip 3 technology, the Dynamic Fit guarantees maximum ball control. Light mesh inserts ventilate the hands in even the hottest and most stressful game situations and ensure pleasant dryness.
Backhand
- The perforated upper hand in an innovative knitted material is, alongside the adhesive foam, the core and showpiece of the Dynamic Fit. The knitted material is made of TPU yarn. Due to its material and structure, the upper hand is elastic in all directions and thus offers optimal air circulation and is extremely comfortable to wear. At the same time, the flexibility of the glove body increases the performance of the entire glove. The glove follows every hand movement without creating annoying folds.
- A flexible punch pad is attached to the upper hand, which increases ball control and power when punching.
Closure
- The closure has been replaced by a flexible wrist cuff that extends from the wrist to the top of the forearm. This ensures even more mobility and comfort. It is a widened, fully circumferential closure that does not slip and adapts perfectly to every wrist. The bandage, which is fully integrated into the glove body, offers additional support and protection for the wrist and optimizes fit and comfort for the goalkeeper. The closure merges into the main construction of the glove without any seams. The adhesive foam is pulled up to the wrist and closes directly with the asymmetrical bandage. This maximizes ball control when catching, even if the catching position is not optimal at the time. This also increases impact absorption in the pulse area.
