• A rare and highly desirable piece of goalkeeper memorabilia from one of the modern era’s greatest shot-stoppers.
• Fully authenticated and accompanied by the BC Boots UK Certificate of Authenticity, including entry into the online verification portal.

- Player Features & Construction:

Professional SMU Build:

• Fully custom Specially Made Unique (SMU) model produced exclusively for Courtois.
• Constructed to his exact specifications, with pro-grade materials differing significantly from the retail Vapor Grip versions.
• Internal labels read “SAMPLE – NOT FOR RESALE”, verifying their status as non-commercial, player-issued gloves reserved for Nike-contracted professionals.

Personalisation:

• Each glove features the player’s name ‘COURTOIS’ on the custom wrist straps — a detail unique to his match-worn sets.

Match-Worn Characteristics: 

• Heavy use visible throughout the palms, gussets and strap areas, consistent with repeated in-game use across La Liga and Champions League fixtures.
• Grip degradation, abrasion marks and wear patterns all match high-intensity goalkeeper usage.

- Provenance & Season Context:

• The 2020/21 campaign saw Courtois remain one of the most consistent performers in Spain, making 52 appearances across all competitions for Real Madrid.
• He recorded 21 clean sheets, including major Champions League nights and key La Liga fixtures that kept Madrid in the title race until the final day.
• Courtois was widely praised throughout the season for his shot-stopping, aerial dominance and distribution — attributes fully reflected in his match-used equipment.

- Collector & Investment Significance:

• Match-worn goalkeeper gloves from elite modern keepers are increasingly sought after due to low survival rates and heavy in-game wear.
• Courtois’ memorabilia is in high demand due to his status as a multiple Champions League winner, La Liga champion and one of the defining goalkeepers of his generation.
• SMU “SAMPLE / Not for Resale” gloves are exceptionally scarce.
• A premium museum-grade item for collectors of Real Madrid, Champions League and elite goalkeeper memorabilia.
• Fully authenticated and accompanied by the BC Boots UK Certificate of Authenticity, including entry into the online verification portal.
