White/Red/Green

An exceptional all-round performer, ABSOLUTGRIP is the go-to choice for keepers of every level, from Sunday League stoppers to pros in Europe’s top divisions. It provides reliable grip in any weather conditions and on all types of surface – no wonder it’s so popular.

Negative cut goalkeeper gloves, also known as "inseam" gloves, are designed with the seams on the inside of the glove. This style is increasingly popular among top-level goalkeepers for its snug, natural fit. The fingers are stitched from the inside leading to a tighter, more contoured fit around the fingers, enhancing ball control and feel. Negative cut gloves are ideal for goalkeepers with slim hands, or those who prefer a close-fitting glove. However, due to the tighter fit, they may wear out quicker than other styles, particularly for goalkeepers training on abrasive surfaces.

Founded in 1948 by Karl Uhl, Uhlsport have been a mainstay of goalkeeping since the 70s, when they branched out from producing studs for boots and soles for shoes to concentrate on players’ hands, too. By 1982, legendary Italian stopper Dino Zoff was wearing Uhlsport on the world stage.

Over the years, they’ve been responsible for some outstandingly grippy gloves, and they continue to be a market leader when it comes to latex. Key among their innovations is the use of compounds, where their tech gurus mix additives into the latex to enhance performance in particular conditions. That’s what makes their wet weather and hard surface gloves so good – each compound is specially made to suit the playing environment.

As a result, Uhlsport have one of the widest ranges of gloves available today, with multiple latex types, cuts, and price points giving you ultimate choice wherever you’re playing and whatever your level. If you’re aspiring to be a pro, check out endorsements from the likes of Mike Maignan, Alphonse Areola, Guglielmo Vicario, Kasper Schmeichel, Lukas Hradecky, Oliver Baumann, and Odysseas Vlachodimos, all of whom trust Uhlsport gloves to help them perform on matchday.
