Revolutionary? First-Ever Nike Dynamic Fit Goalkeeper Gloves Released
Oct 18, 2023, by Chris
The first-ever goalkeeper gloves with Nike's "Dynamic Fit" technology have been released. Will it change goalkeeper gloves forever, similar as the first-ever Dynamic Fit football boots released in 2014, the Nike Magista?
The Nike Dynamic Fot goalkeeper gloves feature an engineered knit backhand and entry. In our opinion, they are not as game-changing as the first high-cut, Dynamic Fit knit football boot (Nike Magista), but certainly interesting - it remains to be seen if Nike's best players will adopt the technology or if they will stick with the traditional closure.
Prototypes featured the Flyknit logo, the final version has an "Engineered Knit"
The final version of the Nike Vapor Grip3 Dynamic Fit has "engineered knit", while prototypes seen by Footy Headlines featured a Flyknit logo on them. Flyknit is, of course, also engineered knit, but Nike have used another knit technique.
It is unknown if and which Nike goalkeepers will wear the Nike Vapor Grip3 Dynamic Fit goalkeeper gloves.

The launch colorway of the all-new Nike Dynamic Fit goalkeeper gloves is understated. Black is combined with Hyper Turquoise. This is inspired by the new Nike Peak Ready pack.
Classic Nike Goalkeeper Vapor Knit 3
Tech-wise, the Nike Vapor Grip3 Dynamic Fit goalkeeper gloves are a hybrid of Phantom Elite and Mercurial Touch Elite gloves. What makes them innovative is the use of engineered knit for the full backhand and closure.
The Nike Vapor 3 Dynamic Fit goalkeeper gloves have an "Engineered Knit" construction for punching and the Swoosh. In case you wondered - the Engineered Knit Swoosh is mainly there to create an impressive visual.
Other elements for catching balls are traditional. The Nike Vapor Grip3 Dynamic Fit goalkeeper gloves feature a 4mm Contact Plus foam with a 3mm sandwich cushion for enhanced grip and cushioning. These gloves also come with a reverse stitch cut for added flexibility and All Conditions Control (ACC) technology.

Classic Football Boots at the 2026 World Cup? Seller Visits Colombia Training Camp
In an interesting development during the 2026 World Cup, several Colombia national team players could soon be spotted wearing classic football boots. Mexican boot seller @soccerstoremx recently visited the Colombian national team's training camp in Mexico to showcase and sell a selection of iconic vintage cleats directly to the squad.
