god i hate these...
Apart from the logo, which is just odd, i actually quite like these. Old-school and functional looking. They're obviously quite garish, but I like that.
That said - and it's a recurrent theme on here - I'm not going to go near these at £40 when a can get a pair of selsport absorb, Serie a's, etc, etc - quality gloves by proven brands - for the same price...
I'm with eloydejong on this one... I like the look, but too expensive.
Hi Gang,
John from Keeper Skool here. Yes, the glove designs are radically different from many gloves on the market, I think that this forum is a great way for the team at Kaliaaer to get feedback from goalkeepers all over the globe.
With that said...the 3DG is more of a premium glove, but the gang have a whole range of different gloves from lower priced to premium priced, and the designs are REALLY different, and I think refreshing too!
Please feel free to send an email to me over at Keeper Skool and I'll relay any information you may have about their new releases to them.
Any feedback you give is golden...and the team would appreciate it as they can then utilize your feedback to drive the best possible value and designs for any body interested in the line.
Kind Regards,
John
Keeper Skool
hats off to them for trying something different, think i might just keep an eye on the developments here!! is this the only model of the range?
Hi Kev,
Yes there are many in the range for 08, and I will be cooking up reviews at Keeper Skool. So keep a look out.
A google search of KALIAAER comes up with some interesting facts.
http://www.alibaba.com/member/kaliaaersport/aboutus.html
Total Annual Sales Volume: US$1 Million - US$2.5 Million Number of Employees: 51 - 100 People
Those are figures that some bigger companies would be proud of .....
Hi Jimmy,
I've certainly asked the guys to be very "transparent" about their business (as much as they can), as Keeper Skool is closely aligned with its success, I think Ali Baba skews figures a lot as it asks you to categorize things in their system, so I'm not too sure about those figures and employee count.
The lads had some private funding to start the process, and be sure that they are working around the clock to make sure that their processes are in place and that their service is top notch.
I'm hoping they stay true to their word and that they deliver on some of the excellent "sneak previews" of their range and deliver it with top class service. Fingers crossed.
Just to let you all know I did speak to the CEO a few hours ago and will have some samples ready to review in the coming few weeks, so check out Keeper Skool for this.This will be first time I have actually utilized the gloves, so hope they live up to expectations.
I managed to get the email for kaliaaer and had a very quick response to a few Q and A's so ill post
(Q) Being a new company on the scene, do you not think retailing at £39.99 will hinder your progress as I could pick up a pair of sells, selsport for the same price knowing im getting quality.
(A) We are new In the UK after a year of trial periods over the globe. Regarding retail price, The gloves range from £21.99 to £34.99 and we believe that there is something for everybody.
(Q) How many models are in the 08 range? at what price?
(A) I cant give you a total, what I will say is that we are launching with 4 models, XGM, 3dg, TF, ShokLock, the price range from £21.99 to £34.99. Through the season we will bring out more models in these price ranges, keeping it fresh and unique.
(Q) What makes you different from the "new" brands already out there (Zapkam, Pro-GK, D-flekt etc)
(A) For a start we own our own Unit overseas which gives us greater freedom to design and test the latest materials. We are very much in terms of quality, up there with the best of them. All of our Team at some point or another have worked for leading brands so we bring a wealth of design knowlege to the table.
(Q) what does the name stand for and the strange logo? (sorry guys I had to ask lol)
(A) name? = secret ..logo = who knows...it has been dubbed the "kaliaaer bird" as it looks apparently like a bird in flight, do you see it?
Well atleast they gave me a quick response, Interesting price's looks like they will compete with everyone?? Also interesting the fact they arn't a one man band like most of the newbies, will be interesting to see more designs, I think that will be my next question to them! lol
I see www.thegoakeeperco.com has the Kaliaaer 3dg's priced at £24.99, Think I pre order a pair of those orange numbers! they would go with my chelsea keeper top :D
Ive seen these!!! was in a shop in madrid in feb WILD!! althought at the time I was hunting for an athletico shirt I couldnt help notice the bold orange gloves and had to try them on.. I take a 9 but all tehy had was 10's .. I gotta say I thought they where a spanish brand but they are so comfy. Couldnt telly you what like the palm is as it was wrapped in clear wrapping but im so glad I can get them here now! ...eventually found the atletico top in another store - ha :D:D:D

Cheers

As far as I am aware, yes it is correct, but maybe Martin or Vic could confirm this for us
We take joy by taking the joy from players and spectators.....
Yes, new to the Sells line for 08/09 is the Contour d3o Roll in Junior sizing (5, 6 & 7), although I have not received stock yet. They are expected very soon, however. The Adhesion Ultra Wrap Juniors also now comes in sizes 4-7 (sizes 4 & 5 are new to the model), for all the younger keepers wanting a top quality glove.
