The best goalkeepers in the world such as Roman Bürki (Borussia Dortmund), Thibaut Courtois (Belgium/ Real Madrid), Alisson Becker (number 1 Brazil and Liverpool), Joe Hart (West Ham United), Ederson (Manchester City) and many other top international goalkeepers swear by the high-quality goalkeeper gloves from NIKE.
Palm/Foam
- 3 mm Super Soft Latex: The 3 mm thick Super Soft Latex foam absorbs the force of the impact and provides good and reliable grip and an optimal feel for the ball.
Cut
- Inner-Seam Cut: With this cut, which is close to the fingers, the glove is sewn from the left side. The seam also runs along the edges of the fingers, but is not on the outside of the glove, but points inwards. An advantage for all goalkeepers who like it when the glove is even closer to the fingers to create an optimal wearing comfort. The fit is tighter and the ball control increases. The cut is also often called "negative cut" because the seams are not visible on the outside.
Backhand
- Neoprene on the backhand is elastic, and guarantees a natural freedom of movement. The tight fit creates a fit that feels like a second skin.
Closure
- The traditional closure has been replaced with a flexible Wrist Cuff that extends from the wrist to the top of the forearm. There is no need for an additional strap. The neoprene material adapts perfectly to the wrist and optimizes fit and comfort for the goalkeeper. Without any seams, the closure merges into the main construction of the glove. Please note: Due to the special construction of the closure system, the glove should be entered or put on two to three times before first use, as slipping into the glove is initially very difficult.
