First impression: Simple elegance meets quality

Mundial Goalkeeping is a relatively new brand specializing in the design of simple yet high-quality goalkeeper gloves. The "Nuevo 21" model, with its negative cut, makes a very positive impression at first glance. The design is understated but impresses with its attractive color combination and premium feel.

Fit: Snug fit, also suitable for wider hands

Due to its negative cut, the glove fits snugly . This makes it particularly suitable for goalkeepers with wider hands who often have problems with very narrow models. The Mundial "Nuevo 21" NC optimally combines these features and offers a more than satisfactory fit, even for our test goalkeeper with narrower hands.

Craftsmanship: Top quality down to the last detail

The workmanship of the Mundial "Nuevo 21" NC is consistently excellent. Every area is cleanly finished and precisely stitched – a clear top rating!

Cut: Modern & innovative with high ball contact

Mundial Goalkeeping's negative cut stands out due to its thin gussets (made of mesh, not latex) and high latex content. This guarantees maximum ball contact . The cut is very modern and innovative and can definitely compete with the cuts of other top models on the market.

Bandage & Slip-on: Comfortable & safe

The opening, combined with the mesh material, is very elastic, allowing for quick and easy donning of the glove. The bandage is made entirely of latex and has no elastic inserts. This ensures a very secure fit. While a small elastic band for easier closure would be desirable, the bandage is perfectly adequate and fulfills its purpose excellently even without it.

Glove body & material: Breathable & comfortable

The micro-mesh material of the glove body impresses with its comfortable fit and high elasticity . Furthermore, the material is highly breathable, optimally regulating heat inside the glove. The Mundial "Nuevo 21" NC scores points here with a simple material that combines many excellent qualities.

Adhesive foam: NOVA+ Latex for secure grip in all weather conditions

The 4mm thick NOVA+ adhesive foam is impressive in every respect. Regardless of the weather, when properly moistened, it always provides a secure grip . It is particularly noteworthy that the NOVA+ develops a very high level of grip after 2-3 training sessions and washing.

Professional tips for optimal grip:

  1. TIP 1: Wash the adhesive foam thoroughly 2-3 times before first use.
  2. TIP 2: Keep the adhesive foam well moistened during the first training sessions or matches. Especially when the latex is new, it can dry out quickly – depending on the ambient temperature – and easily lose grip. Regular re-moistening is key to success!

Impact absorption: High protection upon every impact

The 4mm thick adhesive foam not only provides excellent grip but also very high impact absorption . This optimally protects the hands during hard shots and saves.

Conclusion: The Mundial "Nuevo 21" NC is convincing across the board.

Visually, it's a real eye-catcher – but how does the Mundial "Nuevo 21" NC perform? Our product test shows: This glove offers an outstanding combination of fit, workmanship, innovative cut, and a convincing grip foam. Mundial Goalkeeping delivers a top-of-the-line product for demanding goalkeepers.
