Whereas Manuel Neuer Boots choice was as expected (Adidas Ace Primeknit), it were the gloves that caught the attention of fans and one of our readers (big thanks to Adrian). Boasting a mainly white upper with striking red and light blue applications, Manuel Neuer's gloves were anything but ordinary. So let's take a closer look at the details.
The inside area of the Manuel Neuer is quickly explained. Featuring a white and flashy red half-and-half design, the catching surface features the traditional foam of keeper gloves. What's definitely more interesting is the punching zone and the bandage.
The light blue and navy punching zone of Manuel Neuer's mysterious gloves comes with a ribbed structure while featuring a special text on the navy forefinger area that reminds us of Uhlsport's goalkeeper gloves, even though it's not possible to identify what exactly is written there. The upper area comes with two remarkable navy stripes, while the light blue bandage boasts Manuel Neuer's name as well as three thin navy stripes.
