These adidas Predator Pro GK Gloves are engineered to give goalkeepers the confidence to make critical saves and control the game. The URG 2.0 latex on the palm ensures exceptional grip, whether you're catching a powerful shot in dry conditions or dealing with a slick ball in the rain. This balance of tackiness and durability means you can rely on them game after game.
The Negative Cut provides a tight, almost second-skin feel, which translates to a more direct and precise touch on the ball, crucial for accurate throwing and distribution. The engineered knit backhand works in tandem with refined silicone elements in the punch zone to allow for natural hand flexion. This means when you need to punch the ball clear, you get excellent grip and power without sacrificing comfort or range of motion.
The Corespun 2.0 knit wrist closure is a standout feature, designed based on feedback from professional players like Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Manuel Neuer, and Emiliano Martinez. It eliminates the need for a strap, creating a compressive, seamless fit around the wrist that prevents distractions and keeps the glove securely in place during intense action. Reinforced grooves on the palm further enhance flexibility, making it easier to shape your hands around the ball for optimal catching and handling.
From making diving saves to distributing the ball with precision, these gloves are built to support every aspect of a goalkeeper's play, offering both protection and high-level performance.
The Predator Pro GK Gloves feature a strapless, compressive entry. Simply pull the gloves on, ensuring your fingers are fully seated in each stall and the knit closure comfortably hugs your wrist. There are no straps to adjust, providing a streamlined, locked-in feel.
These gloves are designed for football (soccer) goalkeeping across all levels of play, from training to competitive matches. Their URG 2.0 latex is formulated to perform reliably in all weather conditions (wet or dry).
Proper care is crucial for extending the life and maintaining the grip performance of your URG 2.0 latex gloves:
Before First Use: It is recommended to pre-wash the gloves with lukewarm water and mild soap to remove any manufacturing residue and activate the latex.
After Each Use: Gently wash the gloves immediately after playing. Use lukewarm water and a specialized glove wash, or mild soap. Gently rub the latex palms to remove dirt and grass. Avoid harsh scrubbing or using abrasive materials.
Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all soap residue is rinsed completely from the latex. Residual soap can dry out and degrade the latex.
Air Dry: Squeeze out excess water gently (do not wring). Air dry the gloves away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers). Excessive heat will damage the latex. Lay them flat or hang them by the finger tips.
Storage: Store the gloves flat in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding the latex palms together for extended periods to prevent them from sticking or degrading. Consider using a glove bag to protect them.
Avoid Rough Surfaces: URG 2.0 offers good durability, but all latex is susceptible to abrasion. Avoid dragging your palms on rough surfaces like asphalt, artificial turf with coarse infill, or concrete.
