It's not all perfect in the land of goalkeeper gloves! Especially when some brands are trying to sell gloves for upwards of $200 knowing that their gloves will tear in just a few months!!! So welcome to the WORST GLOVES of 2021 and 2022!!
I don't see any worse models coming out this year since everyone wants to throw their A game at the world cup but we will keep an eye open! especially towards the guys at PUMA who made probably the worst world cup gloves in 2014
Let us know what you thought about in the comments!

The Mercurial Touch Elites are great. Overpriced and the latex isn't the most durable (which is in the description from Nike on all websites I've seen them sold on), but a couple points: 1) those aren't the Promos, Promos don't have the text on the latex 2) I think you've got the wrong size based on the bubbling and loose fingers, mine are the most "like a glove" pair of keeper gloves I've ever had 3) certainly overpriced, but it's Nike's best latex and the grip lasts forever if you don't ruin the latex 4) they should roll the thumb, but in the right size it really isn't an issue, but their best design feature is the latex down the wrist. Incredible on low shots and throwing the ball.
Nah these are the pro 150$ version the promo is a bit harder to land but the difference in latex at the mercurial level isn't big specifically cause both on the mercurial are embossed. I wouldnt say this is Nikes best latex as their best latex can be found on the SGT PROMOS which are a lot softer and not embossed like the latex on the Nike Mercurial touch elite. At the end of the day it’s all preference and a glove that might be horrible for me can be a great fit for other gks. Appreciate your comment clarifying and for your expertise, have you used the new adidas preds or the puma strapless? If you like the mercurials I would recommend them to you personally i think theyre much better
@@ARSGoalkeeping I don't like the slits on the Predator palms, to be honest. And haven't tried Puma. I used to be a VG3 guy, then the Phantoms. I think the Mercurials should be at that same $130 price point with the Preds and Nike's other offerings to be a better value, I don't really see why they're more. I truthfully haven't used SGTs since I was like 15 back in the 00s, I just didn't like the weight. There's something nice about the ultralight Mercurials
@@realgk449 reusch and uhlsport are better IMO than any of the ones u mentioned
Great review Alberto 100% honest. Once again we come to the conclusion price does not equal quality!
FIRST
My take on it: 1) Should I receive a pair of gloves with the strap torn off like in the PUMA pair featured, I'd simply return them. You pay full price to get something flawless, regardless of how ill-designed the product is 2) I remember watching the video of this Nike Mercurial pair where they were torn so easily. I was like "That's it! Nike is dropped off my list whenever I consider getting myself new gloves". Selling a pair of gloves with that hefty of a price tag and such low durability is a BIG rip off. 3) Are you kidding me, Adidas? $120 is already way too much for a pair. Seriously, charging people double the above-mentioned amount for a pair of gloves is an all time low. No matter how good they are (and I feel they're not), such pricing is UNREASONABLE. Plus, there are companies that manufacture gloves with better removable finger guards at one fifth the price for a pair. I know that because I have one of those. And speaking of wrist protection, every keeper knows that the best item is taping. Here in the United States, you can buy a dozen of tape rolls for $ 30-40, and they can last you for months. Much better way to spend your money 💰 than wasting it on those fancy looking no good Adidas Predator nonsense. Peace everyone and watch out where you spend your money 🙂🙂🙂
Great video ARS!!! You should do a review on the storelli silencer, they are my favorite gloves and I think this review would help a lot of people especially in the US!!
When you compared the ultimates to west coast I began to laugh. West coast makes much better gloves than Adidas right now and you can get 2 pairs for less than 200$.
Yep! Which is why I said you can get almost 5 gloves for the price of one of the ultimates! And their latex is better!
@@ARSGoalkeeping هل لديك حسابهم؟
West coast gloves are really good
Old vid now i know, but I've been using the pumas for 6 months now and they're still going strong- and the grip (with proper postmatch washing and drying) is still phenomenal. Like someone else mentioned in the comments- if I'd bought a pair that ripped out of the packet I'd ask for another pair. Maybe these were a duff production run. GK gloves are so much a matter of personal preference though.
Well I think the puma ultra model fits better than the previous puma one. The wrist of the puma one seems to be too narrow and putting them on can be really annoying. But to be honest I'd like to see puma ultra models with a longer wrist entry. By the way, are there any differences between their ultimate grip and superior grip latex?
Honestly i could never really differentiate between the two they seem almost the same. Pumas best latex is probably their Elite + latex followed by the “ultimate”
A little bit late but I heard you mention West Coast gloves in this video. I have a friend that swears by them for being some of the best gloves at around $80 us. What are your thoughts on this brand and the gloves they produce?
Are you going to review the new kaliaaer gloves ? I bought the orange and pink ones and they fit so well, one of the best fitting glove I ever used ! I can’t wait to test them
Hopefully! Waiting on kaliaaer to send them
I've got the Orange ones. First game in them this afternoon! Really excited!
@@DanT84GK noice I hope your game will be a good one have fun ! And tell me about the gloves after the game
For real, the Puma UltraGrip makes me wanna cry so much, I love the latex (The SuperiorGrip is so good, great grip and long lasting), the cut works for me as well, the body construction and material are so bad, the tear and rip on the strap are 1 thing, the stitching on the wrist and then that super short wrist annoy me so much. and yes, I got 2 pairs of Ultragrip on Ebay for 50$ each, a steal for me as the latex is still going strong. Also, I can't rely on the Merc, they were fun to use for me, but I don't feel enough confident with them, so nah
ive tried puma ultra grip 1 hybrid pro recently and the grip was insane but the backhand and wriststrap were just not it
@@fleurjvr2661 i know right
You should do a review on the renegade goalie gloves
can you please review the RG goalkeeper gloves
Do video for UHLSPORT HYPERACT ABSOLUTGRIP REFLEX plz
I love your videos my goalkeeper gloves comes on Tuesday
What gloves?
@@juhosaarelainen5953 sapphire edge
Can you try out the gk saver blue pair of you know which glove I mean it’s got a blue latex and removable finger saves with black on the back of the glove the durability is insane on them and the grip when you put gloveglue on them
Tbh I really liked the mercurial touch elites. For me they fit really well and I've been using them since September 2020 and they're still going strong for me
I agree
Which glove would you say is better adidas predator pro urg 2.0 or one glove geo 3.0 amethyst?
Can you review the brand new predators (blue and orange) pls I don’t know if I should buy them
yea! check out our goalkeeper glove review playlist
@@ARSGoalkeeping oh thx a lot for responding
I have a pair of mercurial victories, they’re my favorite glove to use only because they’re so tight fitting, I’m still looking for a glove with more grip but with a really tight feel
Berto, pls do a review for the Catchit reds original, i want to know what you think of it
Can you do an review on the gladiator emperor gloves?
Are the uhlsport ergonomic absolutgrip HN good ??
WestCoast Goalking Exo line has been the best gloves I ever wore, great price, amazing grip and long lasting quality with Uhlsport brand in the 2nd not too far off. Wore everything from Adidas predators to Umbro Shoguns, can't beat WestCoast goalkeeping.Their wash for the gloves is also fantastic.
Fr
U should really try the new Lupos gk gloves they are fantastic and they come at a great price
Hi good video but can you make a new version covering the high dive I’m 13 and I’m having some trouble with it
Any company you recommend that’s low key but quality gloves? Ty
Could i ask what is one of the best and most affordable gloves and shoes u have tried
If I were to buy a pair which would last me a while between the uhlsport absolutgrip or the supergrip+ which would you recommend. Is it really worthy the extra money to buy the supergrip+?
The supergrip is a much more tournament specific glove. the grip is really good and crazy sticky but you can get crazy good grip with the absolut so it comes down on how much youre willing to spend
I have an open budget but is the supergrip+ really worth the extra £40?
Man i am so scared with all theses gloves problems, i bought some uhlsport powerline absolutgrip hn, my first expensive gloves, i hope they will last long AND they won't break first training...
Hi! U can try Lupos gk gloves from Romania, I think they are decent gloves and their prices are very low maximum 50 euro's
I think that renegade GK gloves are great too
So funny when people try to plug brands to Alberto
@@kscwijnsma i just gave him an idea for another video, if he wants to try this brand good, if not that's it
Ngl I loved the mercurials. Probably because I got them for £20 from a Nike outlet although they only lasted 3 games then completely dropped off in performance and the wrist area started to rip away from the latex
Guys im looking for new gloves and im from Greece a good shop to buy ?
Can you please review grip mode gloves from modern goalkeeping
I do not recommend anything related to Modern Goalkeeping
Okay thanks 👍
I've gone through so many gloves and I discovered that super expensive doesn't always mean super amazing, I went from using predator pros mainly to now using j4ks and I buy 4 pairs of j4ks for £80 instead of adidas predator pro for £100 too overpriced for what they are tbh, it's better to spend £80 on 4 pairs of j4ks that way you have 4 gloves that you can have for 1 year rather than 1 pair of adidas predator pros that'll last for 3 months I've used sells and Nike too which are expensive but my point here is buying 4 j4ks was more of an investment for me and my money.
Yeah buddy!!!
Light weight
!!
Ngl I’ve had the elite mercurials for a year now and apart from from being difficult to put on they’ve been fine
Frankly speaking the photo of the hyperact model which pops up in the video terrified me lol. Thank god it is not in the list.
xD just had to get some b film in there
What do u think about the puma future gloves
Can you do the most durable gloves ARS?
The durability primarily ly is based on the latex and your own technique. But I would recommend the T1tan all white gloves with the removable strap. It has a piece of cloth that makes the bottom of your hand very durable and does not rip. The latex is very sticky if you keep cleaning them. They are my go to model and are a great brand in general. They also are cheaper then other pairs
@@dangrogan6758 damn Ig I didn’t need a video thanks
@@Pedridagoat no problem, just helping out the community
is the ADIDAS PREDATOR TRAINING good?
woa soo many gloves can u give me one please...?😅 luv ur vedios can u make a 1 v 1 challange?❤
anyone gonna speak about the sondico ones in sports direct? (the grip does the opposite of what a gk glove should do)
Try a pair from Sondico. Fell apart after the first few games.
I can’t imagine why
I have predators right now I bought them two times they were very good,well maybe that’s because I have the long ones without the band and they’re newer
Can u review the sells aqua ultimate plz
POV:you buy one of these before you watched this
Is westcoast gk gloves good?
West Coast is pretty reliable, decent grip, and good dura as well. But their build is bulky, so if you liek lightweight, second skin feel, you will not like them tho. Also, their cut ain't really the best, especially if you prefer negative cut type, they are more towards the roll, hybrid side
always recommend west coast great prices and great features
I just picked up some T1tans and had my players do the same, really impressed for $69.99-100
T1tan brand has been taking off over here in Germany!
Hey any company that is affordable company that’s quality that you might recommend even if it’s a low-key company
That's is true about puma palms they came dutty with some other material still they work for me.
Tbh I'm just happy mine aint here lol
Anyone knows what URG refers to? ( I mean full name of the foam)
arent you supposed to take that plastic film off the glove? or was that just on before using
it sucks when u swear at those who rely on wrist control
🤷🏽 sorry!! Never heard of it helping but I could be wrong
West coast goalkeeping makes way better gloves at a fraction of the cost
Yessir
@@ARSGoalkeeping is westcoast for favorite glove for value
A friend of mine had his own goalkeeper glove buisness and his gloves cost £10 to make in India. He sold them for £30-40 per pair, so to see Adidas charging the extortionate prices they are when the gloves are made so cheap is a slap in the face to us the consumer.
There's a big difference in quality between adidas' gloves and those "Indy" brands produced in India and Pakistan, believe me.
I wonder what Robert Sanchez sees in the Nike gloves as they're still his pair of choice
I'm sure using a brand new pair of Nikes most expensive gloves every week should do the trick for a premier league GK.
You can see some keepers in the comments still love their mercurials. Everyone’s preference is different the gloves might really work for him 🤷🏽
MERCURIAL IS SMALLWR THAN USUAL SIZE? I WEAR 9 AND I THOUGHT I should buy 10 does it?
Nah. Buy your usual size. They should be tight otherwise the cut ends up looking like his did. The right size will be tight against your hand all over
^
@@realgk449 Thanks for your kindness ^^
Can we please get a best gloves under £70
I’m beginning to come to gk because I hurt my hand against 5th grade
Some personal likings. Better and cheaper options if you were considering some of these. Puma Hybrid- Uhslport absolutgrip HN Nike Mercurial touch- Any reusch pure contact from last year. Hulk’s hands- Elite Sport Knight Pro
The puma stitching is coming out and it’s bad 😤
Honestly if you buy gloves from these companies, you deserve an overpriced turd.
I bought Nike gloves 25$ and my rist was hiring because if the tight fight of the glove fit so then I got reusch gloves
i have been a goalkeeper for more than 40 years stared at 6 retierd ad 46 i have got in that periode a lot of gloves but ur testing on some aspects relaly is stupid u never put the gloves together on a sticky test yiu can ruin your gloves whit it and the most grip on gloves u get when u make them wet also on the fit of the glove its an hipe to get them so smal on the hand as posible and a glove must be slightly biger than the hand u can save goals white that and learn to go whit the good hand in the corne if u go whit ur left hand in the right corner u doing it wrong u see it a lot latly but that was oly learn to goalkeepers how did not do it right .
I have Adidas Predator Sslwz
Me being ok with my 50zł (about 12-13$) pair of gloves
Nah I have to disagree w the Nike elites. If taken care of properly they are amazing. They are my favorite my gloves but I will be honest I got them for sale. The new ones are so fire and I love them. Been using for 2 months they look good, u just have to take care of them
fair point I know some GKs that still love em as long as they do good by you then its ok in my book!
Can you rank the best gloves under 50 dollars
May I please have some of those gloves from your pile
Can u give me one 😅please
I always buy adidas :\
T1TAN glove nothing bad about it
