Virgil Abloh Reveals Custom Off-White x Nike Goalkeeper Gloves

Virgil Abloh has given a sneak preview of another upcoming football project by revealing exclusive designs on a next-generation Nike goalkeeping glove for England stoppers Joe Hart and Jordan Pickford.

Following on from the Virgil Abloh x Mercurial Superfly 360 football boots that were worn by PSG forward Kylian Mbappe earlier this month, the Off-White football hype continues with customised designs on the gloves for two of England's keepers battling it out for the #1 shirt. Jack Butland is the other English 'keeper in the equation and he's also a Nike athlete so the collection could be a clean sweep for Russia.

It hasn't been confirmed whether either goalkeeper will wear the designs, but we do know that the new Nike Mercurial Touch gloves which feature strapless wrists are due to launch in May. Design wise the gloves feature signature Off White style, from the “LOGO” on the top of the hand, to an X-covered palm, and branding along the first finger. “HART” and “PICKFORD” naming provide the finishing details along with shirt numbers.

Stay tuned for more Nike x Off-White football drops...
