The NIKE GK Vapor Dynamic Fit is Nike's next evolution in the field of modern goalkeeper gloves. It builds on the Phantom Elite and the Mercurial Touch Elite, combining both innovative approaches into 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 an integrated cushioning layer for impact absorption and Nike ACC (All-Conditions Control) technology.
Nike All Conditions Control technology ensures that ball control is not lost in wet conditions. A special treatment of the goalkeeper glove material has made it 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 therefore immune to external climatic conditions. This allows the goalkeeper optimal ball control in any weather conditions. The surface offers optimal grip in both dry and wet conditions and creates an even more direct connection between the goalkeeper and the glove. From the closure 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 inseam cut: Patented Grip3 technology: This patented technology provides more latex contact with the ball on the thumb, index finger, and little finger, providing a better feel. Ball control and grip are maximized, and annoying seams between the fingers and the ball are eliminated by rolling the adhesive foam to the backhand without a side layer. The glove features an Negative cut on the middle and ring fingers. This further increases contact between the glove and the ball. Combined with Grip 3 technology, the Dynamic Fit guarantees maximum ball control. Lightweight mesh inserts ventilate the hands in even the hottest and most stressful game situations, ensuring pleasant dryness.
Backhand
- The perforated backhand, made of an innovative knitted material, is, along with the grip foam, the core and highlight of the Dynamic Fit. The knitted material is made of TPU yarn. Due to its material and construction, the backhand is elastic in all directions, thus offering optimal air circulation and extremely comfortable 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 wrinkles.
- A flexible punch pad is attached to the backhand, which increases ball control and power when making a fist.
Closure
- The closure has been replaced by a flexible wrist cuff that extends from the wrist to the top of the forearm. This provides even greater mobility and comfort. It is a wider, fully circumferential closure that does not slip and adapts perfectly to every wrist. The bandage, which is fully integrated into the glove body, provides additional support and protection for the wrist and optimizes fit and comfort for the goalkeeper. The closure is seamless and integrated into the main construction of the glove. The adhesive foam extends to the wrist and connects directly to the asymmetrical bandage. This maximizes ball control when catching, even if the catching position is not optimal at the time. It also increases impact absorption in the pulse area.
