Goalkeepers Misa Rodríguez (Spain) and Inês Pereira (Portugal) have debuted the Earhart Pro gloves, which have been designed for the 2023 Women's World Cup.
Why is this glove designed for a woman's hand? The main feature of this model is its anatomical design around the middle of the hand. Until the Earhart model was introduced, women had to use gloves in sizes that did not fit them properly because women's hands are generally shaped differently from men's. Thankfully, that's a thing of the past with the SP Earhart.
The body is made of latex with Gel Printed knuckles and natural latex pieces on the fingers.
These gloves feature a distinctive design inspired by Australian Aboriginal art, as can be seen in the pattern on the fingers. The body of the glove is inspired by Māori tattoos, which represent a person's life story. In Māori culture, the flower symbolises women, while the turtle symbolises strength, patience, and perseverance.
The palm area is made of 3.5 mm German GigaBlock latex and 3 mm foam. It has a Rollfinger cut and thumb wrap.
The back extension is made of latex and has an elastic fastening strip. The version used by players at the World Cup has been specially modified for them and features the flags of Spain and Portugal on the extension.
These gloves have been designed and manufactured for professional competition.
