We gave you a look at the Nike Zoom Carbon Fly football cleats last month and talked a bit about how fast the design is. Lightweight thanks to Flywire and incredible traction thanks to the Nike Propulsion System is great but you can be the fastest person on the planet and if you don’t have great hands on the football field, you’ll never be a great wide receiver.

This is where the Nike Vapor Jet Receiver Gloves come in to play. Of course, lightweight is still a key feature of the Vapor Jet gloves, but the dual-tension strap that locks down the cuff and palm is its greatest asset. By preventing that annoying and inhibiting bunching up that occurs with some gloves, the Vapor Jet sets itself apart from the rest of the competition. With ventilation on the backside through a mesh panel, and Magnigrip palm area all weather grip and durability, the Vapor Jet is the only thing you’ll coming between you and the football.
