First impression: Elegance meets functionality
For goalkeepers who prefer neutral, white gloves, the Mundial Nuevo MX NC in this colorway is an excellent choice. The elegant, subtly gold logo perfectly complements the minimalist design. This model features a negative cut and differs from the Nuevo 21 in its latex gussets. The initial impression is consistently positive and appealing, suggesting high-quality workmanship and thoughtful details.
Fit: Snug fit for optimal ball feel
Similar to the "Nuevo 21", the "Nuevo MX" fits very snugly to the hand and fingers. This makes it ideal for goalkeepers who value precise ball feel and is also well-suited for those with wider hands. The material ensures a high level of comfort and supports ball control.
Craftsmanship: Top quality without compromise
Like the “Nuevo 21” before it, the “Nuevo MX” also impresses with its first-class workmanship. No defects or loose threads are visible on the seams, which underscores the product's durability and quality.
Cutting: Innovative negative cut with latex gussets
The negative cut design of the Mundial Goalkeeping cleats stands out particularly due to their thin gussets (made of latex in this model) and the generous amount of latex on the fingers. This results in an extremely large amount of latex contacting the ball, preventing any contact with the seams, even with slight slippage. A very modern and innovative design feature that maximizes the grip area.
Bandage / Slip-on: Secure hold and easy access
The mesh material and additional elastic elements make putting the glove on very easy. The bandage is made entirely of latex and has no elastic inserts, which ensures optimal glove fixation. A small rubber piece at the end for easier closure would be desirable, but even without it, the bandage fully serves its purpose.
Glove body / Material: Breathable micro-mesh for comfort
The micro-mesh material of the glove body is a functional fabric that impresses with its comfortable fit and elasticity. These properties enhance the fit and overall comfort. The material is also highly breathable and effectively regulates heat inside the glove, which is advantageous during intense play.
Adhesive foam: The 4mm Supernova Latex – A guarantee for top grip
The 4mm thick Supernova adhesive foam is among the best on the market. Regardless of weather conditions – whether warm, wet, or cold – the Supernova guarantees consistently reliable and exceptional grip. This is a definite plus for this model, especially considering the price, where such grip characteristics are rarely found. A significant advantage that makes this glove particularly attractive!
TIP 1: The Supernova adhesive foam performs at its best when lightly moistened before first use and regularly during play. This optimizes grip and durability.
