The Nike Vapor Premier Lacrosse Gloves in the Philadelphia Waterdogs PLL Limited Edition colourway are part of Nike's official "Control the Game" PLL collection — a head-to-toe purple drop in the signature colours of the Philadelphia Waterdogs, one of the Premier Lacrosse League's most iconic franchises.
The Nike Vapor Premier is Nike's top-of-the-line men's lacrosse glove — engineered for elite players who refuse to choose between protection and feel. Over 30 articulated padding zones are strategically placed across the back of the hand and fingers to protect the game's highest-impact areas, while the articulation between each pad allows natural, unrestricted hand movement and a full range of motion. The result is a glove that protects without restricting — you feel the shaft, control the pocket, and release the ball the same way you would with bare hands.
Nike Dri-FIT technology pulls sweat away from the skin and accelerates evaporation, keeping your hands dry and comfortable deep into the second half. Breathable mesh panels across the back and finger zones promote airflow to keep heat and moisture from building up, improving grip as conditions get more intense. The lightweight construction keeps the overall feel minimal — these are the gloves you put on and forget about, which is exactly the point.
This is a Nike x PLL Philadelphia Waterdogs Limited Edition release — deep purple with white accents, matching the Waterdogs' signature colourway and released alongside the L4 head as part of the same "Control the Game" campaign drop.
Who is it for? Attack, midfield, and all-position field lacrosse players at the high school, college, or club level who want Nike's most elite glove in a bold, limited edition Waterdogs colourway.
