Adidas Predator Pro Manuel Neuer IC

The goalkeeper glove model by Manuel Neuer of the 2019/20 season. Manuel Neuer is the only active adidas professional goalkeeper to get his own goalkeeper gloves.

The design of the model was developed together with the German national goalkeeper.

Palm/Foam

• URG 2.0: Newly developed adhesive foam from adidas, which is used for the first time in the spring/summer 2019 collection. The covering consists of 3.5 mm extremely soft foam and an additional damping layer. This results in excellent impact absorption. The very high grip in all weather conditions in combination with a further improved durability make this adhesive foam a perfect choice for all ambitious goalkeepers. The URG 2.0 is comparable to its predecessor Evo Zone Tech, which has been used in adidas top gloves up to now.
  
• Abrasion Zone: To increase the longevity of the glove, an abrasion-resistant latex coating is used. Tests have shown that wear is greatest in the "abrasion zone". Therefore, it makes sense to use a more robust material again at this point. However, the grip is not impaired when catching.

Cut

• Negative Cut: This tight-fitting cut guarantees a perfect fit. The inner seam cut with tight textile layers in combination with the revolutionary knitted backhand material ensures seamless wearing comfort. Approx. 80% of all adidas professional keepers play with this cut.
• seamless wearing comfort: A seamless contact surface with the ball is guaranteed by an integrated inner profile and leads the goalkeeper to top performance.

Backhand

• The introduction of the Predator Goalkeeper glove at the beginning of 2018 brought the knitted backhand an unprecedented Revolution on the goalkeeper glove market.
  The complete backhand was knitted in production from one piece. This guarantees the goalkeeper much more freedom and flexibility both when entering and when actively carrying. The completely crease-free backhand adapts optimally to the specific movements of the goalkeeper and sits like a second skin.
• Punching Zone: The punching zone is the newly designed, highly flexible fist defense area on the backhand. The arrangement and division of the silicone elements was again improved compared to the predecessor model . The goal is to give the goalkeeper the possibility to further and more controlled fist without losing stability or flexibility. The silicone material ensures a safe fist with optimal ball control with maximum power transmission. The fingers lose no mobility and remain very flexible. The fist zone harmonizes perfectly with the knitted backhand.

Closure

• Detachable Stretch-Strap: The Removable Stretch-Strap is a sensational new development for the autumn/winter collection 2019, which is also used in the Manuel New Goalkeeper Glove. The new fastening system offers goalkeepers the possibility to individually adjust their fit. Games without the strap for a natural fit with unrestricted freedom of movement or games with strap for a better stabilisation in the wrist area. Two options with one goalkeeper glove model.
• Close-fitting Bandage: The revolutionary bandage nestles like a glove, without annoying seams, around each wrist. In combination with the knitted material of the backhand, the very flexible and adjustable glove can be worn by any goalkeeper. The glove adapts to both very narrow and thicker wrists without deforming.
• Dress up help: For easy access, no tearing or pulling is necessary, which greatly simplifies the everyday use of the top glove.

Other features

• Thumb Wrap: Increased stability and a tight fit for the thumb. This supports the goalkeeper in all his catching and defensive movements.
