Adidas X Pro Goalkeeper Gloves

The gloves rely on a flexible, compression-fit knit backhand and an engineered cuff that wraps snugly around your wrist. Inside, non-slip silicone elements prevent your hand from sliding, ensuring the glove stays locked in place even during intense dives.

A negative cut means the stitching is on the inside of the glove, creating a tighter, more form-fitting feel. This design offers a closer touch on the ball and a more natural, responsive sensation compared to bulkier glove styles.

The URG 2.0 latex is designed for high-level grip and cushioning. While it offers excellent tackiness in dry conditions, like most professional-grade latex, you will need to keep the palms slightly damp to maintain optimal grip during wet weather.

These gloves are built for performance and agility, which means the latex is softer and more sensitive than heavy-duty training gloves. While they will perform well on turf, the high-performance foam will wear down faster on abrasive surfaces than it would on natural grass.

The X Pro gloves are designed to fit like a second skin. If you prefer a slightly roomier feel, you might consider sizing up, but most keepers find their standard glove size provides the intended locked-in, secure fit.
