The concept of this glove gives me a stiffy.Possibly the most sensational goalkeeper product ever, I used to bad-mouth Nike because the cheaper products fall apart when used on astro-turf, those sweatshop kids are shit, sack them all!
But the Nike total ninety confidence has a three-way adjustable strap, one on the wrist as normal and a thinner one at the base of the hand and then the clever bit-the yellow strip enables you to pull the glove down onto your hand snuggly and velcro's at the base of the hand so that you can completely customise the fit. The yellow strip also acts as a 'punch-platform' when the 'keeper makes a fist. The latex palm extends all the way down the wrist strap and is padded, there are grooves in the palm where natural creases in your joints are to get a better grip and feel. The palm also features air-vent holes which allows cool air into the glove and the backhand holes allows heat to escape giving the 'keeper a consistantly comfortable temperature of the hands. Whoever concieved this idea should be given the rest of the year off. My apologies to Puma but I am getting a pair of these gloves as soon as I get paid.
Volkan Demirel wore these in euro 2008 and I like him, anyone who has the balls to knock-out a 6'5'' czech skin-head gets full respect (even though he wasn't wearing these when he did it)
