adidas Predator Pro Goalkeeper Gloves - Black

URG 2.0 is adidas's universal grip formula, developed to offer an optimal balance of high tackiness for excellent grip in various conditions and sufficient durability for regular training and match use. It performs well in both dry and light wet weather.

Always hand wash your gloves with lukewarm water after each use. You can use a small amount of mild, non-detergent soap if they are heavily soiled. Rinse them thoroughly to remove all soap and dirt, then air dry them away from direct sunlight or heat. Never machine wash or tumble dry.

A negative cut means the seams or stitching are on the inside of the glove, resulting in a tighter, snugger fit around the fingers. This design provides a closer feel to the ball, enhancing control, dexterity, and a 'second skin' sensation, which many goalkeepers prefer for precise handling.

The URG 2.0 latex is formulated to provide a good balance of grip and durability in various conditions, including dry and light wet weather. For extremely heavy rain or very muddy conditions, some goalkeepers might opt for gloves with specialized 'Aqua' or 'Allround' foams, but these Predator Pro gloves are highly versatile for general use.

The thumbwrap design extends the latex coverage around the thumb. This increases the contact area between the thumb and the ball, enhancing overall control, flexibility, and confidence when catching, holding, or throwing the ball.

Yes, the body of the gloves is made in part with recycled materials, specifically 89% recycled polyester, reflecting adidas's commitment to sustainability.

The adidas Predator goalkeeper glove range, including these models, is notably endorsed by renowned professional goalkeepers such as Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Manuel Neuer, and Emiliano Martinez, highlighting their performance credentials at the highest level of the sport.

The URG 2.0 latex performs best when clean. Regularly hand wash your gloves after each use to remove dirt, grass, and sweat, which can significantly reduce tackiness. Also, ensure the palm is slightly damp before use for optimal grip activation.

These gloves feature a negative cut for a snug, 'second skin' fit. Ensure you have the correct size according to adidas's sizing chart. If new, allow for a brief break-in period, as the engineered knit and latex may soften slightly with use. If discomfort persists, re-check your size.

Goalkeeper gloves are consumables, and wear is normal, especially on abrasive surfaces. To maximize lifespan, always clean them after use, air dry them properly, and avoid dragging or sliding palms unnecessarily on hard ground. The URG 2.0 formula offers a balance of tackiness and durability, but aggressive use on very abrasive surfaces will accelerate wear.

The engineered knitted entry and Corespun 2.0 knit are designed for an adaptive, compressive fit without a strap. If it feels too loose, your glove size might be too large, preventing the knit from properly compressing. If too tight, ensure you're gently guiding your hand in, allowing the knit to stretch and adapt to your wrist.
