Description
The Nivia AirStrike Goalkeeper Gloves sit in Nivia’s entry-level goalkeeper range, delivering solid grip, a comfortable positive cut fit, and all-weather reliability at a price point that makes sense for beginners, school players, and recreational keepers across India.
If you need football gk gloves that can handle daily training sessions and weekend matches without wearing out after two games, the Nivia AirStrike Goalkeeper Gloves are a practical, no-nonsense choice.
PU LATEX PALM FOR ALL-WEATHER GRIP
Consistent Ball Control in Wet and Dry Conditions
The palm of the Nivia AirStrike Goalkeeper Gloves uses PU latex construction that grips the ball firmly whether you’re playing on a dry summer evening or during monsoon season drizzle.
PU latex is more durable than soft natural latex — it won’t wear down as quickly from rough ground contact during dives and low saves.
For keepers who train three to four times a week on hard Indian grounds, this durability matters more than the ultra-soft feel of premium match gloves that degrade in weeks.
The latex surface on the Nivia AirStrike Goalkeeper Gloves provides enough tackiness to hold shots cleanly and reduce rebounds. During catches, the ball sticks rather than bouncing off — giving you confidence to attack crosses and claim high balls in crowded penalty areas.
POSITIVE CUT FIT — COMFORT WITH SURFACE AREA
Roomy Design That Doesn’t Sacrifice Control
The Nivia AirStrike Goalkeeper Gloves use a positive cut construction where the palm panels are stitched over the fingers on the outside. This creates a slightly roomier interior compared to negative cut or roll-finger designs.
The positive cut gives you two advantages as a goalkeeper. First, your fingers move freely inside the glove without feeling restricted — important for quick reaction saves where you need to spread your hand fast. Second, the external stitching creates a wider, flatter palm surface for catching.
Most goalkeepers actually prefer gloves slightly larger than their exact hand measurement. The positive cut design of the Nivia AirStrike Goalkeeper Gloves naturally provides that extra surface area without needing to size up.
VENTED CUFF AND SLIT-WRIST CLOSURE
Breathability and Quick On-Off Access
Instead of a traditional Velcro wrist strap, the Nivia AirStrike Goalkeeper Gloves feature a vented cuff with a slit-wrist closure system.
The cuff sits snug around the wrist while allowing airflow to keep your hands cool during intense play.
The slit-wrist design makes it easy to pull the gloves on and off quickly — useful during water breaks, halftime, or when you need to remove a glove to adjust equipment. You don’t have to fight with a tight elastic band or fiddle with Velcro strips.
In humid Indian conditions — especially during summer matches in cities like Mumbai, Chennai, and Hyderabad — the vented construction on the Nivia AirStrike Goalkeeper Gloves prevents sweat buildup that causes slipping and reduces grip quality.
BUILT FOR TRAINING AND MATCH PLAY
Durable Construction for Daily Use
The Nivia AirStrike Goalkeeper Gloves are designed to handle the wear of regular use. The PU latex palm resists abrasion from hard ground surfaces, and the synthetic backhand material holds its shape through repeated washing and drying cycles.
For goalkeepers who attend coaching academies in cities like Delhi, Bengaluru, and Pune, having football goalkeeper gloves that survive daily training without falling apart is essential. The Nivia AirStrike Goalkeeper Gloves fill this role — tough enough for practice, clean enough for matches.
The construction quality also makes these Nivia football gloves a smart choice for school and inter-college tournaments where players need reliable gear at an affordable price.
WHO SHOULD BUY THE NIVIA AIRSTRIKE GOALKEEPER GLOVES
These Nivia goalkeeper gloves suit beginner keepers learning the fundamentals of shot-stopping and positioning, school and academy players who need durable football gk gloves for daily practice, club-level recreational goalkeepers playing weekend league matches, and parents looking for affordable, quality goalkeeper gloves for their kids.
If you’re an advanced or semi-professional goalkeeper who needs premium natural latex grip and finger protection spines, consider stepping up to the Nivia Ditmar Spider or Nivia Ashtang models instead.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1. What cut are the Nivia AirStrike Goalkeeper Gloves?
Ans. The Nivia AirStrike Goalkeeper Gloves use a positive cut design. The palm panels are stitched on the outside of the fingers, creating a roomier fit with a wider catching surface — ideal for keepers who prefer comfort and freedom of movement.
Q2. Are the Nivia AirStrike Goalkeeper Gloves good for wet conditions?
Ans. Yes. The PU latex palm provides consistent grip in both wet and dry conditions. While they won’t match dedicated wet-weather gloves with soft natural latex, the AirStrike gloves handle monsoon drizzle and damp grounds reliably for their price range.
Q3. What sizes are available?
Ans. The Nivia AirStrike Goalkeeper Gloves are available in S, M, L, and XL. Most goalkeepers prefer ordering one size larger than their exact hand measurement for better catching surface and comfort. Check our size chart for detailed hand circumference measurements.
Q4. Can I use these gloves for daily training?
Ans. Absolutely. The PU latex palm is more abrasion-resistant than soft latex, making the Nivia AirStrike Goalkeeper Gloves a practical choice for keepers who train three to five times per week on hard Indian grounds. They hold up well under regular use.
Q5. What is the difference between Nivia AirStrike and Nivia Armour Goalkeeper Gloves?
Ans. The Nivia AirStrike uses a positive cut with a vented slit-wrist closure, while the Nivia Armour features a negative cut design with a 1.5-inch adjustable Velcro wrist strap. The Armour also has a padded foam backhand for added impact protection. The AirStrike is the more breathable and affordable option.
Q6. How do I clean and maintain these goalkeeper gloves?
Ans. Rinse the gloves with lukewarm water after every use to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid hot water, machine washing, or direct sunlight drying — all of these degrade the latex palm faster. Air dry in shade and store flat, not crumpled, to maintain the palm shape.
