Adidas Predator GL Pro IC "Manuel Neuer"

The special model by Manuel Neuer with an exclusive design has been created especially for Germany's number 1. Neuer is the only adidas professional goalkeeper who gets his own goalkeeper glove design.

100% legal - 100% unfair. With the new adidas Predator 20 goalkeeper gloves you radiate aggressiveness and brutal power.

Besides the exciting design, you benefit from improved performance in various areas:

The new generation knitted backhand with the revised layered construction delivers a highly adaptable, tight and comfortable fit. In combination with the URG adhesive foam, which is embossed with anatomical flex zones, you get ultimate grip and ball control. 

The backhand is equipped with new "silicone spikes" that give you more grip and power when fisting. The extended wrist entry does not require a strap and maximizes freedom of movement.

Catching surface:

• URG 2.0: The surface consists of 3.5 mm extremely soft foam and an additional cushioning layer. This leads to an outstanding 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.
• Anatomical flex zones: The embossing on the fingers and on the rubber supports the natural movements of the hand and prevents bulging of the adhesive foam. This construction makes the glove even more flexible and contributes to a perfect, tight fit.
• Extended adhesive foam: The extended catching surface on the wrist provides increased grip when securing the ball.

Cut:

• Negative Cut: The negative cut ensures a tight and comfortable fit on the fingers. The goalkeeper gets a perfect fit and an optimal ball feeling. 80% of adidas professional goalkeepers play with this cut.
• Improved fit: The mesh layer of the fingers is made of one piece and anatomically shaped. This leads to a very direct ball contact. Thanks to a reduced number of seams, comfort and ball feel are noticeably improved.

Backhand:

• Demonskin: The new backhand offers over 400 small, spiky silicone elements. The spikes are constructed like the spikes known from athletics and interact with the surface of the ball. Especially in the punching area, these silicone elements provide a high grip and therefore also a very high ball control and extend the contact time of the glove with the ball, which improves the power distribution and increases the power transmission to the ball, so that the ball can be defended further than before when fisting. As a result, every fist defence is much more targeted, controlled and further than before. The silicone elements also improve the stability of the knitted backhand without negatively affecting the very high flexibility.
• Next Generation Knitted Backhand: The glove body and the backhand are made of a new generation knitted material. Thanks to a new yarn combination and an improved knitting pattern the glove is more adaptable than ever before. Like a second skin, the glove nestles up against every hand.

Closure:

• Extended entry without strap: The extended entry up to the forearm does not require a strap and ensures maximum freedom of movement. In combination with the new knitted material, this design still allows a firm, secure fit on the wrist. The asymmetry of the support provides the optimum combination of stability and flexibility at the wrist.
