Reusch World Cup 2018 Soccer Goalie Gloves

The 2018 World Cup of soccer in Russia is just around the corner and Reusch created limited edition goalie gloves for its professional athletes. Called the Prisma Pro G3 Fusion Evolution, this goalkeeper glove features the most advanced palm foam ever for the best grip in all weather conditions.

G3 Fusion Foam combines a G3 foam base sprinkled with hard ground and wet condition latex foams on the surface. With 11 different host cities across Russia, many with differing climates, Reusch created the Prisma Pro G3 Fusion Evolution to offer superior performance in all conditions. The Aqua latex with Hydrograin technology provides exceptional grip in rainy conditions. The G3 foam base is ultra soft and includes special adhesive additives while the solid latex speckles within the foam increase durability.

A brand new wrist band closure constructed of sport mesh offers added protection for the wrist bone while remaining breathable and comfortable. The asymmetrical slip on design provides a better fit and is easy to get on/off. Reusch’s Ortho-Tec finger and thumb stay system features free-floating stays that can be removed through a zipper for customized protection.

Along with the Prisma Pro G3 Fusion Evolution, Reusch created a full line of gloves with the same World Cup themed backhand pattern of blue, black and orange. So even if you aren’t as advanced as the professionals, you can still wear the same World Cup design at a more affordable price. See all the Reusch Prismas here.

And make sure to keep your eye out for these limited edition gloves on your favorite keepers all tournament long! Play kicks off June 14th!

Hugo Lloris and his Goalie Gloves

There are no secrets about the importance of a keeper in Soccer. While strikers attract the headlines and record transfer fees, the back bone to a successful club begins with the player between the sticks. With a sport that is simplistic in its equipment demands, the most significant piece for the most important position, are the gloves. Designed to provide protection, grip, and confidence; a good set of goalie gloves are worth their weight in gold. Most keepers will test out several types of gloves in their pursuit of the right ones. And once they find a brand they like, they become incredibly loyal for years to come.

This exact tale transpired for goalie Hugo Lloris. As the Captain of his club team Tottenham Hotspurs and national team France, he knows a thing or two about stop the ball. During his academy days, he had experimented with various styles and brands of gloves. He soon fell in love with a particular pair, and has since then stuck with them through thick and thin. With a combined 459 appearances for his club and country, it’s safe to say he has depended on his gloves on more than a few occasions.

Regarded as one of the top goalkeepers in the world, it’s no wonder Uhlsport has made him the face of their brand. Hugo began to wear Uhlsport gloves in the early 2000’s during his time spent in the OGC Nice academy. Over a decade later, he still depends on them to provide him the confidence he needs to perform on the biggest stages. During the 2016 UEFA EURO Cup final with France, Hugo debuted the Uhlsport Eliminator SuperGrip in his signature Black, Blue, and Green. He has since continued to wear them for his matches with the Tottenham Hotspurs, where he has accounted for 10 clean sheets and allowed the least amount of goals among regular starters.

What makes these goalie gloves so special is the SuperGrip foam used in the construction of the palm. It’s designed specifically to provide remarkable grip in any condition, which has been beneficial for the rainy conditions of the U.K. They also feature a silicon and high frequency latex backing with a 3D-embossed SCHOCKZONE. This allows the high rebound foam on the back of the hand to enhance the punching performance and provide additional protection. Complete with Uhlsport’s Easy Entry System and 360 wrap, a secure fit is effortlessly achieved with this glove.

While a great pair of goalie gloves isn’t the only thing that makes Hugo Lloris such a formidable present in goal, it’s certainly doesn’t hurt. Gear up with all your goalkeeper needs at Sports Unlimited.
